BJP gives credit to Sheikh Abdullah for State's Accession to India
Insulting Shyama Prasad Mookerjee

JAMMU, Oct 28: Something is fundamentally wrong with the BJP. In fact, the power-hungry BJP has lost its way. It doesn't know what it says and what it says sometimes is highly despicable and deplorable. Some of its leaders have turned so irresponsible in their desperate bid to cultivate the Kashmiri leadership that they don't mind ridiculing leaders like Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of Jan Sangh and the one who sacrificed his life in Kashmir on June 23, 1953 for the national cause in the State by opposing the pro-autonomy and anti-Jammu J&K Wazir-e-Azam, Sheikh Abdullah.
Mookerjee died in mysterious circumstances in a make-shift jail in Kashmir. He had entered the State from Lakhanpur, the gateway to J&K, after violating the obnoxious permit system to unite the State with India. He had fought tooth and nail the National Conference and its perverted ideology, vehemently opposed Article 370, vouched for separate status for Jammu province and Ladakh region and created an environment in Jammu province which culminated in the historic Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan, Ek Pradhan Movement - popular movement which eventually culminated in the dismissal and arrest of Sheikh Abdullah on August 9, 1953 under the charge that he had flirted with the United States to obtain for Kashmir independence. It was the inspiring leadership of Mookerjee that hastened the process of the State's integration with India. The people of Jammu province always remember Mookerjee and get inspiration from the sacrifice that he made in the State for the larger national cause.
Before March 2015, the BJP also used to commend the services of Mookerjee. But things have changed now. It now hails Sheikh Abdullah whom it till the other day used to accuse of conspiring against Mookerjee. In fact, it used to hold Sheikh Abdullah and the Congress responsible for the whole mess in the State as well as for the mysterious death of Mookerjee. It used to say that Maharaja Hari Singh alone had the authority to take a decision on the political future of the State and that Sheikh Abdullah had no locus standi in the matter. That its approach towards Sheikh Abdullah has undergone a radical change could be seen from what BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister said on the Accession Day. Terming the accession of State with India as full and final, he showered praises not only on Maharaja Hari Singh but also on Sheikh Abdullah. "The State (read Maharaja Hari Singh) signed the instrument of accession with Indian Dominion on this day in 1947 and which was later endorsed by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah it became a historical document to which no power on earth can challenge," he said. He hailed Maharaja Hari Singh and Sheikh Abdullah for what he called "their timely and well calculated decision".
It was for the first time that any BJP leader praised the role of Sheikh Abdullah in the accession business. By hailing him, the BJP only shamed the nationalists and undermined the supreme sacrifice of Mookerjee. Actually, the BJP accorded respectability to the conspiracy hatched by both Jawaharlal Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah against the nation, which has been paying through its nose ever since October 26, 1947, when the State lawfully acceded to the Indian Dominion. It needs to be underlined that the Indian Independence Act of 1947 had clearly said that only the rulers of the princely India shall have the power to take a decision on the political future of their respective States and that Nehru violated the constitutional law on the subject by allowing Sheikh Abdullah to poke his nose in the matter. Both Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah not only created a serious problem for India but also conspired against Jammu which had been ruling the State since March 1846.
