Jammu, Oct 27: Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina on Thursday said that Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru ‘mishandled’ the affairs of Jammu and Kashmir as first Prime Minister of India.
“Maharaja Hari Singh was a hardcore patriot who stressed for freedom internationally, which irked British and hence all the conspiracies were hatched,” Raina here said speaking at a function organised to celebrate ‘Vilay Diwas’ (Accession Day) of Jammu and Kashmir with fervor across the region.
Raina added, “Pt. Nehru as first Prime Minister ‘mishandled’ the affairs of J&K after taking the matter into his hands from Sardar Patel.”
He said Patriot Hari Singh was a true secular ruler, who served everybody, but was not allowed to enter J&K alive by Congress.
“The day of October 26 is of great importance to every resident of J&K in a similar way as that of August 15. Whole of Jammu and Kashmir (Including illegally occupied part of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh by Pakistan and China) was made an inseparable part of Bharat,” he added.
He said that the Accession was completed without any condition by Maharaja Hari Singh, but NC and Congress who conspired against the unity of nation for their own vested interests propagated a false narrative of theirs.
“On October 27, our armies ousted Pakistan from J&K reaching far but Pt. Nehru announced a unilateral ceasefire and left our own territory into enemy control. Today, PoJK residents, who consider Bharat as their nation, are hoisting Tiranga, which is a clear indication that PoJK will unite with us in coming time,” added Raina.
BJP General Secretary, (Org) Ashok Koul shared the details of events around before 1947 emphasizing on the role of RSS in Accession of Jammu & Kashmir citing important contributions of second Sarsanghchalak of the RSS Guru Madhav Sadashivrao Golwalkar and Balraj Madhok, Rai Bahadur Badri Das, Barrister Ranjit Singh, Madhav Rav Mule, Harish, Jagdish Abrol and others. He also cited the relation of Bengal Andolan, Bung-Bung Andolan, two-Nation theory by the British.
Former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta said that under conspiracy, Sardar Patel was not allowed to handle J&K affairs and Sheikh was given all importance.
“J&K was used a black mailing point afterwards by them for their own benefits,” he stated.
