| Nazir, Kamaal say Sheikh Abdullah was against accession to India | | Time for fake secularists to re-fashion their approach | | Neha
JAMMU, Oct 29: The fake secularists in Jammu & Kashmir and their supporters in New Delhi had consistently maintained that Sheikh Abdullah was secular, critic of two-nation theory and a votary of the accession of the state to India. They held this atrocious view notwithstanding the fact that neither Sheikh Abdullah nor his Valley-based and one-sect-centric National Conference ever appreciated the Indian Constitution and the Indian institutions, including the Supreme Court, the Election Commission and the Comptroller and Auditor-General. They always withheld the truth that Sheikh Abdullah had tried his level best to join Pakistan but failed because the Pakistani leadership hated the National Conference founder.
That Sheikh Abdullah was not in favour of the state's accession to India could be seen from the statements that NC general secretary Sheikh Nazir and additional general secretary Sheikh Mustafa Kamaal made on the eve of the Accession Day - statements which were published in various newspapers on October 26. Both of them denied that Sheikh Abdullah had any role in the accession of the state to India. (Sheikh Abdullah was very much there at Teenmurti Bhawan, the official residence of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, on October 26, 1947, when the accession took place.)
The statements issued by Sheikh Nazir and Mustafa Kamaal outraged commentator like Mohammad Sayeed Malik to the extent that he wrote a big piece taking on the NC leaders, who are known for their rabidly anti-India views. He countered their views and asserted that Sheikh Abdullah played an important role in the accession of the state to India. He was only partly right when he claimed that Sheikh Abdullah played an important role. It's true that a piece of paper that Sheikh Abdullah sent to Jawaharlal Nehru from the bedroom the Indian Prime Minister on October 26, 1947, when the Indian Prime Minister and Jammu & Kashmir Prime Minister Mehr Chand Mahajan were discussing the issue with the Jammu & Kashmir Prime Minister insisting on the Indian Prime Minister to accept the accession offer and send troops to Kashmir and the latter not agreeing to the proposal, changed the whole situation. But it's also true that Sheikh Abdullah turned towards Nehru and India only after he got snubbed by the Pakistani leadership.
In any case, the National Conference leadership is known for its double-speak and politics of opportunism. |
