Former Minister flays demand questioning Instrument of Accession 11/17/2016 12:15:06 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 16: Sharply reacting to the demand for reversal of the integration of J&K with India, the former Union Minister, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta alleged that certain dubious characters were trying to fish in the troubled waters. Rebutting the assertions of certain politicians that the accession of this Sate with union of India was conditional, Prof. Gupta said that Maharaja Hari Singh had signed the same Instrument of Accession on the analogy of 562 princes of other States by using their legal authority and there was no provision and condition to exercise this right. Not only this, under the Constitution, J&K is an integral part of India and even in the State Constitution too, it has been endorsed that the accession is final and irrevocable but it sounds strange those who held high positions under oath of both the Constitutions should desist from talking that accession was conditional, he added and observed that such like statements could not be expected from any nationalist having faith in the unity and integrity of the country. Prof. Gupta further said that if the Constitution of India can be good for 125 crores of people including many crores of Muslims, how it can be harmful to some lakhs in Kashmir. He said that what can be more deplorable than to talk secession or reversal of integration or describing Accession as conditional. As far as Pakistan is concerned, It has no locus standi. Its position is that of an aggressor and it is the duty of every true Indian to defend every inch of land, he asserted.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
