Ministers are given that responsibility, everyday their duty is to abuse national leaders like Gandhi ji, Pandit ji, Indira ji and Rajiv ji,” he said at the Nehru Memorial lecture event in the national capital.Ĭongress general secretary Jairam Ramesh noted that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is in Hingoli district in Maharashtra and coincidentally a book on Nehru in Marathi has just come out in addition to the one in English and Hindi. “I think Modi ji created a portfolio, a department for abusing national leaders. Venugopal accused ministers in the Union Cabinet of abusing Nehru everyday. The minister said it was because of the mistake made by Nehru that Pakistan was able to foment trouble in Jammu and Kashmir. So I agree with my dear friend and colleague Kiren Rijiju entirely.”
The historical facts are staring at you in the face that making the reference (to multinational fora) and calling for a plebiscite is not just a folly, I think it is a monumental blunder. “Was it an error of judgment? You can say the man made a mistake but you cannot justify it. Puri said this when asked if he agreed with the views of Rijiju on Nehru’s Kashmir policy. I am using word folly very mildly,” Puri told reporters in Srinagar.
You cannot have a higher folly than that. So they wanted to take it to a multilateral forum. “But the political leadership in Delhi was saying they wanted it (accession) to be more broad based and therefore they wanted a plebiscite. That’s what I have read as a student of history.
My information has been that then Maharaja Hari Singh was happy to sign the instrument of accession. “Why was the (Kashmir) issue taken to international or multinational fora. “The people of this region, along with the rest of India, deserve to know the truth of what actually happened during those tumultuous months and years,” the minister wrote.Īnother union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said the decision of Nehru to take the Kashmir issue to a multilateral forum was a “monumental blunder”.
