| Sher-e-Kashmir receives shock of his life | | Flash back Feb 24, 1975: | | Early Times Report
jammu, Feb 23: On February 15, 1975, the Plebiscite Front gave consent to Indira-Abdullah Accord. Contrary to Sher-e-Kashmir's expectations, Indira Gandhi briefed the Parliament on February 24 which she was not supposed to do as per an unwritten agreement between the duo. Sher-e-Kashmir received the shocking news at Jammu and expressed his reluctance to go to Raj Bhawan where he had to take oath as Chief Minister of the state next day. According to Shabnam Qayoom, Indira Gandhi when informed about Sheikh's reluctance, She directed the Governor, LK Jha to allow Mir Qasim, who had submitted his resignation, to continue as Chief Minister. Gandhi also directed Jha to tell Qasim to follow her directions on Nedous Hotel Issue. The lease of the hotel had expired recently and the government had plans to lease it out to another party. According to Qayoom, Mir Qasim persuaded Sheikh to attend the function. He agreed and later accused the media of misinterpreting some of the clauses of the accord. "I will apprise the people of the terms and conditions of the accord soon. No mention has been made about my correspondence with the Prime Minister", he said. Sheikh's correspondence with Indira Gandhi has been published by Shabnam in his Kashmir ka Siyasi Inqilaab, Vol 5. However, Sheikh has not made even a passing reference in his autobiography, Aatish-e-Chinar. The correspondence reflects Sheikh Abdullah's desperation. On March 3 Sheikh Abdullah arrived in Srinagar to a rousing reception. But Sheikh Abdullah was visibly depressed. He was ditched by Madam Gandhi by informing the Parliament about the accord on February 24. |
