1.5 lakh is base figure of missing Hindus & Sikhs from POJK in 1947. There were mass killings, mass rapes, suicides, abduction & selling of Hindu & Sikh women. Hindus & Sikhs completely disappeared from POJK. Yet the horrors & genocide was forgotten. Not just #TheKashmirFiles 
What did Congress do?
Pt Nehru refused to meet multiple delegations of Mirpuris. Mahatma Gandhi insisted that Indian Army couldn’t be sent to save the Hindus & Sikhs in POJK because it was snowing in Mirpur. This despite Mirpuris telling him that it doesn’t snow in Mirpur.

On 23rd November Professor Balraj Madhok and Premnath Dogra met with Brigadier Paranjpe of the Indian Army in Jammu who sympathised with them but told them that their instructions were that there could be no troop movement in Jammu Kashmir without Sheikh Abdullah’s permission.
On 25th November Professor Madhok & Premnath Dogra made another attempt to meet Nehru. Nehru asked them to talk to Sheikh Abdullah. Madhok’s pleas of Sheikh Abdullah being indifferent to the issues of #Jammu Region fell on deaf ears & Nehru did not send the Army to Mirpur.
On 25th Nov Mirpur fell. The spine chilling horrors in POJ after the fall of Mirpur requires another thread. In 1947 instead of Raliv, Galiv ya Chaliv the cries were “Hindu ka zar, Sikh ka sar”(we want Hindus wealth, and the Sikhs head). This is verifiable History not propaganda.
