Congress had struck deal to give away Siachen glacier to Pakistan, but this man saved India from the deal!

Congress had struck deal to give away Siachen glacier to Pakistan, but this man saved India from the deal!

Few months back, the Wikileaks had revealed a sensational document which showed how the UPA government under  Sonia  Gandhi and  Manmohan  Singh  had decided to give away  Siachen  glacier to  Pakistan.

This was one of the most shocking revelations made that stunned the entire country. Then, the Congress had denied the charges and said the Wikileaks was spreading fake news to malign the Congress party.

*WIKILEAKS: Shocking Revelations Show UPA Government Wanted to Surrender Siachen to Pakistan!*

But today, the man himself who witnessed the deal between India and Pakistan has exposed the Congress’s double face.

*Shyam Saran*, who was the foreign secretary of India until 2006, in his upcoming book part-history-part-memoir titled *How India Sees the World*, has revealed that he along with his Pakistani counter part Riaz Mohammad Khan had struck a deal on orders of Congress government to take back Indian troops and give away the  Siachen  Glacier  to  Pakistan.


But this deal was  sabotaged and  scuttled  by the then  *National  Security  Advisor  M  K  Narayanan,* who literally saved  India from Congress’s  *illogical  and  stupid  decision.*

In his book,  Sharan writes that  Manmohan  Singh wanted to  settle the  deal with  Pakistan by handing  over  Siachen  glacier for  which  all  stake holders  were  consented.  The deal  was  even consented by the Indian Army, and mentioned its finer points,  including  current  positions of the forces of the  two  countries,  the  positions to which they  would  withdraw, a  schedule  for redeployment,  and a  joint  monitoring  mechanism to  prevent  mutual  intrusions.  All this would have been  recorded in an  annexure to the main agreement.

“To give the  document  additional  strength,  we insisted, and the  Pakistani  side  agreed,  that  both the agreement and the annexure will be signed, and that the main agreement will explicitly declare that the  annexure had the  same  legal validity as the  agreement  itself,”  writes  Sharan.  “I did  many  rounds of  consultations,  both at the senior  bureaucratic  and  ministerial  levels in the ministries  of  defence,  home and  finance (whose members are part of the  Cabinet  Committee on Security (CCS).”

He  claims that the then  Army  Chief  J J  Singh  and all  chiefs of the  Intelligence  Agencies  were brought on  board.  The  deal was  consented by the Army and its  intricate  technical  details including the points and timing of redeployment and also the phases in which it would have been implemented and the structure of the monitoring mechanism  were  actually  worked  out by the Director-General  Of  Military  Operations.


But it was  during the  CCS  meet, the *NSA  Chief  M  K  Narayanan* raised serious concerns about the deal and  argued about  compromising the  National  security of  the  country.

“When the  CCS  meeting was  held on the eve of the Defence Secretary-level talks,  the  NSA launched an  offensive,  saying that  Pakistan  could not  be  trusted, and  that  there  will  be political  and  public opposition  to any such initiative and  that  India’s  military  position in the northern sector vis-à-vis both Pakistan and China will be  compromised.  General  Singh, who had happily  gone  along with the  proposal in its  earlier iterations, now  decided to join  Narayanan in rubbishing it.”

It was only after  M K Narayanan  raised concerns, the Chief  of the  Army  also  agreed  that the Siachen  deal was not  safe and  would put  India in grave  danger.

In the meeting, then  Home  Minister  Shivraj  Patil and  Defence  Minister  Pranab Mukherjee remained  silent and  played  safe in  front of  NSA chief  as they did  not  want to  lose  face  for endorsing  such a  stupid deal.  Manmohan  Singh who  desperately  wanted to  pass  the  deal, remained  mute  after  NSA and  Army  Chief  raised  concerns  and  defied  with the  order.


Narayanan  in the  meetings  also  said  that  the Siachen  topic  should  never  become an agenda in the India-Pakistan talks on  border  issue.  At  this point  it is  said  that  Pranab  Mukherjee  himself supported  Sharan and  added that  Rajiv  Gandhi himself had  agreed to  include  Siachen  in the India–Pakistan  dialogue.

These events  clearly  suggest  that  how  the *Congress  government*  was all set to give away the  Siachen  glacier to  Pakistan  risking the  entire Jammu  Kashmir.  Siachen  glacier is the  highest battle  filed which  provides  natural  protection to India.  More than  500  soldiers  during  Kargil  war sacrificed  their  life to  get  back  Siachen  glacier. Even  during the  operation  Meghdoot in  1984, over  890  soldiers sacrificed  their  life  protecting this  piece  of  land.


But  Congress  government  under  Sonia  Gandhi wanted to gift  Siachen to  Pakistan which would have been the  biggest  blunder  after  Nehru’s decision to  approach  UN to  resolve Jammu Kashmir  issue.  How  did  they  ever  trust  Pakistan  which has  always  backstabbed  India?! Even with all  security measures and  24/7  vigil  at the  border, there  are  hundreds of  terror  infiltration  from  Pakistan, imagine the  catastrophic effect if  Indian  Army  was  pulled  back  from Siachen Glacier!!

Its a shame to even think that the people in the government  who were  trusted and  elected to protect  the  country  betrayed  the  Nation  by opening  doors to the  enemy!  Is  there  anything left  which  Congress  hasn’t  tried  to  ruin  India?!!!
