Prof Chaman Lal refutes Dr Farooq's statement | | | Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 4: The former Union Minister, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has refuted the statement of National Conference leader Dr. Farooq Abdullah that former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had offered Pakistan to give up the Indian claim over the Pak' held areas of Jammu and Kashmir. He said no sensible Indian can do so, not to say of the then Prime Minister of the country, Vajpayee. Prof. Gupta said legally and constitutionally Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country. Anybody under the oath of constitution cannot even think of ignoring the constitution and its bindings. He said that Dr. Farooq Abdullah is a political juggler who can say anything at any time to seek the headlines. Those who knew him or were aware that at one time Dr. Farooq with Amanullah Khan had talked about pushing out the Indian troops from Kashmir by pointing out to Kalashnikov.The same Dr. Farooq also talked for plebisciting Kashmir to settle the dispute and the same very person talked for use of force against Pakistan when he said," Laaton Ke Bhoot Baaton se nahin Mante". Prof. Gupta observed that the creation of so called Kashmir problem was the result of the follies of the Congress leadership and moreso, that of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who was interested only in the valley of Kashmir. But It was a great folly to go for a ceasefire with Pakistan in 1948-49 when the Indian troops were marching fast in pushing back the invaders from Pak held areas. Later this issue could very easily be solved in 1971-72 when the Indian troops had marked a great victory over Pakistan and captured not only large areas but also over 90000 Pakistani soldiers were taken prisoners of war. But It was unfortunate that under certain foreign pressures Shimla Agreement was arrived at, But Pakistan never honoured any agreement and repeatedly indulged in violations of the ceasefire. |
