Patel was ready to give away Kashmir
Updated : Jun 26, 2018
Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle- a book written by veteran congress leader Saifuddin Soz is making some fresh ripples in the Kashmir issue. Soz has claimed in the book that the Iron Man Sardar Patel was willing to give Kashmir to Pakistan in exchange of Hyderabad. It was Jawaharlal Nehru who wasn’t amused with the idea. The book was released yesterday and was attended by noted congressmen Jairam Ramesh and former union minister Arun Shourie. However, Arun who was also a legendary journalist has cautioned to shed the baggage of history and then look for solutions to the Kashmir issue. It was probably the most apt advice for Saifuddin Soz who has been controversial with his book.
