1) Another shameless and Brazen lie
What Salman Soz and Shekhar Gupta say- Patel offered Kashmir to Pakistan through Mountbatten
What Patel actually said-"There is nothing to discuss with Pakistan's leadership"
Patel never gave any such offer to Liaquat.Stop these Brazen lies
2) The article starts with Salman Soz's claim that Mountbatten took this alleged offer to Pakistan on the "exact day Indian Army landed in Srinagar"
This is blatantly false. Indian troops landed in Srinagar on October 26 1947. Mountbatten went to Pakistan for talks on November 1
3) Then, Salman Soz makes another startling claim. He claims Mountbatten told Pakistan " I have an offer from Patel. Take Kashmir and leave Hyderabad"
This is completely fake. Mountbatten's own letter during meeting makes no reference to any such claim.

4) What actually happened in the meeting:
Mountbatten proposed a plebiscite in Kashmir provided Jinnah completely withdraws his regular and non regular troops from Kashmir including Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Jinnah rejected the offer.Mountbatten clearly said it was his own idea
5)This claim is completely fake. Not only is there no primary source,such a claim has never been mentioned anywhere by Jinnah, Liaquat, Mountbatten etc
Far from offering Kashmir to Pakistan in November 1948, 72 year old Patel was in Kashmir to conduct and oversee Army operations
