| NC’s claim on State’s accession with India distortion of history’: PK | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Aug 8
An emergency meeting of the Working Committee of Panun Kashmir was held today with Dr. Ajay Chrungoo in chair to discuss the references made by Dr. Farooq Abdullah, Patron of National meeting about the accession of J&K State, recently.
The meeting adopted a resolution giving the background of state’s accession with the Indian Union.
The resolution said that the National Conference leadership did not constitute a factor in the accession of Jammu and Kashmir. Not only the National Conference, the Praja Mandals and peoples' organizations in all other princely states, did not constitute a factor to determine the accession of the princely states. The claim that National Conference brought about the accession of the Jammu and Kashmir state to India is a distortion of history and a misrepresentation of the process of the transfer of power in India in 1947.
The claim that the National Conference brought about the accession to India is a ploy which the National Conference created to justify the exclusion of Jammu and Kashmir from the constitutional organization of India and the enslavement of Hindus and other minorities in the state.
The resolution said that the accession of Jammu and Kashmir with the Union of India took place after the armed forces and a band of raiders from Pakistan invaded the state. Maharaja Hari Singh acceded to India to save the state from being annexed to Pakistan. The states' people were not given any right in respect of the accession of the princely states of India to the dominion of India and newly created Pakistan.
It must be clearly understood that the partition of India did not apply to the princely states. Nor were the people of the princely states given any right in respect of their accession. In fact, the British and the Muslim League stubbornly opposed the recognition of the right of people of the princely states to determine their future. The Indian dominion plus the princely states of India were presumed to be national unity which the British promised the Congress leaders to recognize, the resolution added. |
