Know how Pakistan is claiming part of Gujarat

Now,a new issue has made an appearance.

Pakistan's claim to Junagadh completely disregards the February 1948 plebicite.

Pakistani PM Imran khan divulged a new political map on Aug 4,2020 including JK,Ladakh and parts of Gujarat including Junagadh,Sir Creek and Manavadar.

This moves comes on the 1st anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

Junagadh was a lenient state in British India before its integration into the Union of India.

India rejected Pakistan new map calling it a 'POLITICAL ABSURDITY'.Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani rejected the new map,saying the action snooty.

The Nawab of Junagadh,Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III,was a Muslim and he decided that Junagadh should become a part of Pakistan.

However,the state population that comprised an overwhelming majority of Hindu opposed the move.

The Indian Government objected to Junagadh's accession to Pakistan as it went completely against Muhammad Ali Jinnah's argument that Hindus and Muslims could not live as one nation. India's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel believed that Junagadh's accession into Pakistan would further accelerate the communal tension in Gujarat.

 

Junagadh is not connected to Pakistan by land. It is surrounded on all of its land borders by India, with an outlet onto the Arabian Sea.

1. • The Junagadh Nawab, was, however forced to flee to Karachi with his family and followers after the region fell into crisis and there he established a provisional government.
2. • India gave Pakistan time to reverse its decision to accept and hold a plebiscite in Junagadh.  Junagarh's state government, facing financial collapse had invited the Indian government to take control.
3. • Finally, a plebiscite was held on February 20, 1948, in which all except 91 out of 190,870 voted to join India. As per this, roughly 99.95 percent voted to join India.
