SRINAGAR: A senior leader of the Congress party has accused his coalition partners National Conference of distorting history.
Taj Mohiuddin, who is a minister for Medical Education, said NC leader, Mustafa Kamal’s comment that his father Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah did not play any role in the 1947 accession with India were untrue.
Mr Mohuddin said it was indeed Sheikh Abdullah who facilitated the accession.
“It was Shiekh who was heading Constituent Assembly that time. The Accord signed by Maharaja Hari Singh was rectified and upheld by Shiekh Abdullah,” Mr Mohiddun said.
He said Mr Kamal is misleading people and trying to distort the facts.
“Neither Mustafa Kamal nor Taj can change the history. History is witness to the fact that Kashmir’s accession with India was made possible by NC founder Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah,” he said.
He further said that Kashmir’s accession with India is final and in no way is it conditional.
“Those who raise finger on accession are distorting the facts and it is only a move to mislead people and gain their sympathies.”
