NEW DELHI: A war of words broke out between Congress and the BJP and the Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday refuted the congressional communications director’s claims Jairam Ramesh who said that when Maharaja Hari Singh put on makeup, it was Jawaharlal Nehru who secured the entry of J&K into India. Congress on Tuesday attacked Modi for his criticisms of Nehru above Kashmir issueAlleged that he had once again “bleached real history” and ignored the facts to “take down” India’s first Prime Minister.
Rijiju said Ramesh’s claim was a “historic lie” and went on too long to defend Nehru’s dubious role.
This “historic lie”, which Maharaja Hari Singh raised on the question of Kashmir’s accession to India went on too long to defend the questionable role of JLNehru. Let me quote Nehru to break Jairam Ramesh’s lie,” Rijiju said in a tweet on a thread, responding to statements made by Congress leadership.
In the screenshot shared by Rijiju from Nehru’s speech to Parliament on July 24, 1952, Nehru is quoted as saying: ‘Regarding Kashmir, even before August 15, 1947, I should have thought In July, the question came before us, informally. And the advice we give is that the state of Jammu & Kashmir has, for various reasons, occupied a very special status. ‘
Rijiju claims that the first time Maharaja Hari Singh approached Nehru to join India was in July 1947, a month before Independence. “It was Nehru who rejected Maharaja,” said Rijiju, adding, “This is Nehru in his own words as to why it was not Maharaja Hari Singh who delayed Kashmir’s accession to India but Nehru himself. Maharaja approached in July 1947, like all the other Primitive States. Other states have been accepted. Kashmir was denied. ”
Referring to Jairam Ramesh again, Rijiju added that Nehru not only refused Maharaja Hari Singh’s request to join in July 1947, but Nehru also got along in October 1947. “This when the invaders invaded. Pakistan had reached within kilometers of Srinagar.
Rijiju said, “In short, Maharaja wanted to join India in July 1947. It was Nehru who refused Hari Singh’s request. Is that a special case? Bank’s political vote?”
Rijiju asks: “Why is Kashmir the only exception to Nehru, where the royal ruler wants to join India and Nehru wants ‘more’? More than that? The truth is, India You are still paying the price for Nehru’s friends.”
Rijiju said Ramesh’s claim was a “historic lie” and went on too long to defend Nehru’s dubious role.
