Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, founder of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, is in effect the founder of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the successor of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh. His repudiation of the obnoxious triple principle of dual Constitution, dual Flag and dual Prime Minister, that seditiously sought to alienate and eventually separate Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India, was enunciated in his famous words thus : '' एक देश मे दो विधान, दो निशान और दो प्रधान नही चलेगा | ''
Mookerjee paid for his vociferous opposition of this dual status of J&K within the feferal framework of India and was allegedly politically eliminated in 1953 under mysterious circumstances in J&K where he was incarcerated for illegal entry into the province without permit as was the legal necessity then. His death was never enquired into despite repeated entreaties by his aged mother and demands made nationwide by his followers.
Nehru brushed aside the theory that there was foul play involved in Mookerjee's death and refused to entertain the demands for an enquiry. Even Dr. B.C.Roy's urging Nehru to allow investigation by an informal agency of, say, a retired judge, fell on deaf ears. The matter was hushed up forever and successive Congress governments kept up the same line of their 'illustrious' predecessor and let the dead die in their coffins.
Netaji, Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Lal Bahadur Shastri --- the legacy is writ in ruddy drops. What happened to them? Who must be held accountable for that? Who must be held culpable to the offence of suppression of facts, distortion of truth, gross falsification of history and deliberate misleading of the people of India?
Offenders, answer.
