SRINAGAR: A day after asking terrorists to target the corrupt instead of security personnel, J&K governor Satya Pal Malik on Monday expressed “regret” over his remarks in Kargil before wading into another controversy by describing former CM Omar Abdullah as a “political juvenile” who tweets on everything.Malik was reacting to Omar castigating him for his comments at a tourism event in Kargil on Sunday.“This man, ostensibly a responsible man occupying a constitutional position, tells militants to kill politicians perceived to be corrupt. Perhaps the man should find out about his own reputation in Delhi these days before sanctioning unlawful killings & kangaroo courts,” Omar tweeted.Stung to the quick, Malik said: “90% of people abuse or disagree with his tweets. I was treating him like a child but he raised questions about my reputation. I am working here, and I am here because of my reputation in Delhi...”Malik said that unlike Omar, he neither had the name of his father or grandfather to fall back on, nor their wealth. “I have come here from a one-and-a-half-room house, and I guarantee you that I will leave after exposing their corruption. Wherever I dig, I find their corruption. I go to any hotel for coffee, I get to know that it belongs to them.”The governor, however, said he regretted his remark that militants should stop killing security personnel and go after the corrupt instead. He said the comment was made “in a fit of anger and frustration”.“I should not have made such comments as I am the constitutional head of the state, but what I said expresses my feelings on the issue. Once I am not the governor, I will go back to saying the same thing,” he told television channels.
