PoK wouldn’t have come into existence had Nehru not declared untimely ceasefire with Pakistan. Sardar Patel should have handled Kashmir, instead of Nehru.
Amit Shah (Home Minister, India)
Crux of the Matter
During an election rally in Maharashtra, Home Minister Amit Shah brought up the abrogation of Article 370, a constitutional article that gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir.
He took a dig at first Indian PM Nehru for abetting the Pakistan occupied Kashmir situation by unilaterally declaring ceasefire with Pakistan in 1947.
While congratulating PM Modi for recent steps taken to revoke Article 370, he also slammed BJP’s opposition parties Congress and NCP for taking a stance against the abrogation of the article.
Curiopedia
Article 370 of the Indian constitution gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir — a state in India, located in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, and a part of the larger region of Kashmir, which has been the subject of dispute between India, Pakistan, and China since 1947 — conferring it with the power to have a separate constitution, a state flag and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The government of India revoked this special status in August 2019 through a Presidential Order and the passage of a resolution in Parliament. The article was drafted in Part XXI of the Constitution: Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions. More Info
