The publication of distorted map of Kashmir by CIA, CNN and
BBC on their respective websites is a deliberate attempt to attack the sovereignty
of India. They have, in fact, joined the false Pakistani propaganda, and thus
ceased to be independent entity by converting them part and parcel of Pak propaganda
machinery. It is understandable to a common Indian that what motivates them
to join anti-India character-assassination campaign- jealousy? To some extent
the grudge of CIA may be understood because it does not like India flourishing
and work as the instrument to implement US policy of counterbalancing India
through Pakistan. But what about BBC and CNN professing to be working for protecting
democratic and human values? Why they prefer to Pakistan-a nursery of international
terrorism and ruled by a military dictator, over a democratic India dedicated
to defend human values and continuously fighting terrorism?
It is a well-known and well-documented fact that:
1) Pakistan incited tribesmen and sent her army along with them to attack Kashmir.
2) Pakistan's plan was to pressurize Maharaja Hari Singh and force him to merge
Kashmir in Pakistan by this move.
3) But Pak pressure-game backfired as it forced Maharaja Hari Singh to request
Indian Government to allow Kashmir to be merged in India.
4) Kashmir was legally merged with India through the instrument of accession
on October 26, 1947.
5) Before taking this decision, Hari Singh consulted the leaders of the main
political party of the state-National Conference which spear-headed agitation
against the Monarchy in pre-independence period and other prominent leaders
of the state like Bakhsi Ghulam Mohm.,Mirza Aslam Beg, Ghulam Mohm. Sadik, Saiyyad
Mir Kasim etc.
6) The British Government was a party and approved all these developments.
7) The UNO, which mediated in the dispute, recognizes Pakistan as the aggressor.
In the light of the above facts, it is clear that these agencies have initiated propaganda offensive against our Mother Land. We should come forward and join the hands to give them a befitting reply.
