| NC did not negotiate accession with India | | Beg's weak assertion | | Rustam JAMMU, Dec 5: National Conference (NC) MP Mehboob Beg, who hates India and the Indian laws and consistently preaches communalism, one day speaks one lie and on other day another lie to mislead the people hoping he would carry conviction with them. This has not happened. Nor will it happen in the future as well. One day, he talks about the non-existent Delhi Agreement and the next day, he makes another ridiculous claim. The other day, Beg asserted that Jammu & Kashmir had another option but it did not exercise that and instead, negotiated the terms of accession to join the "secular" Indian Dominion. By other option, he meant Muslim Pakistan. He did not inform the people that Sheikh Abdullah had sent his emissaries to Pakistan to negotiate Kashmir's accession with it, notwithstanding the fact that he had no locus standi. The two emissaries were Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad and Ghulam Mohammad Sadiq. They did go to Pakistan, met with Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan and returned to Kashmir empty handed after being snubbed by them. Where was the other option available to Sheikh Abdullah and his coterie of separatists and communalists? There was no second option available. Beg became an object of contempt and ridicule by making a false claim that the state acceded to India after holding negotiations with the Dominion Government about the political future of Jammu & Kashmir. It's completely wrong. The Maharaja of the State, Hari Singh who alone had the power to take a final decision on the political future of the state, had made accession offer to the Dominion Government saying it must send Army to the state to evict the Pakistani invaders. The Government of India accepted his offer after some heated exchanges and sent the Army on October 27, 1947, a day after the state acceded to India. This was the whole negotiation. Will Beg look back to find the truth? He will not. He knows the truth but he speaks lies to cater to sentiments of his communal constituency like all other Kashmiri leaders do. |
