Partition Is The 'Greatest Mistake In Modern India', No Discussions On Jammu And Kashmir If It Had Not Taken Place

Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday termed partition as “greatest mistake in modern India” and said that there would be no discussions on Jammu and Kashmir today if the partition has not taken place. “The greatest mistake in modern India was the partition. Gandhi Ji had said that if a partition takes place, it will happen only over his dead body. He was disappointed and left for Bengal on the occasion of the first Independence Day,” he said while speaking at a Vishwa Hindi Parishad event. Partition is the greatest mistake in modern India, no discussions on Jammu and Kashmir if it had not taken place: Jitendra Singh
“Had we understood that the partition took place only due to the ambitions of a few people…A large section opposed the partition. If that partition would not have taken place then the discussions on Jammu and Kashmir as is happening today will not be taking place. There would have neither been Article 370 nor the issue of its abrogation. You can see how forward or backward we went, with one accident in the history,” he said.
