How can a public person restrict people to reply on a public platform . However we #Kashmiris will not allow you to use #Kashmir as your grandfather used it and compromised in 1971 . @BBhuttoZardari @ForeignOfficePk

@vivekagnihotri ji ,I am not a #KashmiriPandit Scholar but a #Dogra from Jammu but I am going to expose the lies spread by these communal people by means of a thread🧵exposing secularism of #SheikhAbdullah.
Books from which I have complied thread are in last Tweet of #Thread n/1
#SheikhAbdullah was so secular that he raised an organisation called #Muslim Reading Room Group that had organised an inflammatory speech of Abdul Qadir inside Srinagar's Khanqah-i-Moula Shrine on June 21 1931 in which he began extolling #Muslims to shun #Hindu ruler of J&K.

#SheikhAbdullah was so secular that in 1932 ,he founded a party named Jammu and Kashmir #Muslim Conference in Srinagar that was named after a religion and not region .

#Nehru died this day 56yrs ago
A week earlier he'd sent #SheikhAbdullah to Karachi to meet/negotiate with the #Pakistani military dictator #AyubKhan
Sheikh rushed back upon Nehru's death
The three men ever shared what was cooking
Such hush-hush freelancing continues over #Kashmir
#Nehru indeed is the original sinner in our headache over #Kashmir
But the mindset to deal with this headache, across govts parties and leaders has remained Nehruvian:
Integration through soft separatism
A secular facade to reward bigotry
Hand over democracy to rank autocrats
#Nehru the interim PM did not defend J&K against the #Pakistani attack till the #Maharaja appointed #Sheikh
He let Sheikh rob the elections to stuff his own men in the Constituent Assembly of J&K
All others' nominations were cancelled to 'elect' unopposed 73 NC members out of 75.
