This Day That Age
The Prime Minister, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru, characterised the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Sir Mahomad Zafrullah's offer in the Security Council to agree to India's retaining 28,000 troops in Kashmir if the Azad Kashmir forces were allowed to remain intact, as "very ingenious, which can take in only the unwary and those who do not know the facts of the case." In the course of his answer to a short-notice question by Mr. Gurupadaswamy in the House of the People, the Prime Minister said, "The strength of the `Azad' forces is between 30 to 32 battalions and they are hundred per cent part of the Pakistan Army, well equipped and well-trained." Simply because they were called `Azad' forces they did not cease to be part of the Pakistan Army. Zafrullah Khan's offer, Mr. Nehru said, was worse than any that India had had to consider till then in the matter of Kashmir.
