Source-backed Partially True Truth Percentage: 60% CORRECT

Fact-checking claims about government resignations after terror attacks

Unable to extract a clean what is said in the video.

What's right

During the Congress government's tenure, following the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil resigned on November 30, 2008, taking moral responsibility for security failures [Reference 5].
The Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and Deputy Chief Minister R. R. Patil also offered to resign or resigned in the aftermath of the 2008 attacks [Reference 5].
The terrorist Ajmal Kasab was captured alive, interrogated, and subsequently executed [Reference 9].
The claim that no major terrorist attacks occurred for 8 years after 26/11 is debatable, as the reference mentions subsequent attacks like Pathankot, Amarnath, Uri, Pulwama, Balakot, and Delhi blast during the BJP government's tenure [Reference 10].

What's wrong

The claim that Governor Satya Pal Malik was the only one to resign after the Pulwama attack is contradicted by the fact that he resigned after the Pulwama attack, but the video implies no other BJP leader resigned, which is not fully supported by the provided context.
The statement that PM Narendra Modi did not hold any press conferences after the listed attacks is not verifiable from the provided context.
The claim that no media has dared to show this video is unsubstantiated.

What's debatable

The assertion that no major terrorist attacks occurred for 8 years after 26/11 is debatable, as the reference lists several attacks during the subsequent BJP government's tenure, but the definition of "major" can be subjective.
The video's implication that the BJP government did not take responsibility or that the Pulwama attack was not investigated is a political interpretation not directly verifiable from the provided context.

Breakdown

Government Response to Terror Attacks The claim contrasts the response of the Congress government to the 26/11 attacks with the BJP government's response to subsequent attacks. The provided references confirm that following the 26/11 attacks, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil resigned, and the Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh and Deputy CM R.

R. Patil also offered to resign or resigned [Reference 5].

The capture and execution of Ajmal Kasab are also confirmed [Reference 9]. Resignations and Accountability under BJP The claim states that no BJP leader resigned after subsequent attacks like Pathankot, Uri, and Pulwama, with the exception of Governor Satya Pal Malik after the Pulwama attack.

While Satya Pal Malik's resignation is mentioned in relation to the Pulwama attack [Reference 10], the claim that no other BJP leader resigned is not directly contradicted or supported by the provided context. The assertion that PM Narendra Modi did not hold press conferences after these attacks is also not verifiable from the given references.

Investigation and Political Motivation The video alleges that no investigation occurred into the Pulwama attack and that the BJP government used the martyrs for political gain. These are interpretations and accusations that cannot be fact-checked with the provided sources.

The claim that media has not dared to show the video is also unsubstantiated. Overall Assessment While some factual elements regarding the Congress government's response to 26/11 and the capture of Kasab are accurate, the claims about the BJP government's lack of accountability, specific resignations, and media censorship are either unsubstantiated or not fully verifiable from the provided context.

The video also makes political claims about the BJP using the Pulwama attack for votes, which are subjective and not fact-checked here. [1][2][3]
