He repeated the threats to Hindus on Nov. 6, warning that if they retaliated against Muslims for Noakhali, then he'd unleash every weapon from "machine guns, bombs, aeroplanes & all the forces of the Govt. " to stop Hindus. By Bakr Id he wanted all the Hindus neutralized.

Shockingly Nehru's letter to Bihar CM Sri Krishna Sinha on Nov. 19 reveals him COVERING UP his role in massacring Hindus. He says 250 Hindu casualties was not a big figure "considering everything" & even instructs Sinha how to word an official fake alibi to save Nehru.

We know Jallianwala Bagh but history books never reveal how Nehru approved of a bloodcurdling massacre of 400 - 1000 Hindus for daring to defend themselves & retaliating to the horror of Noakhali. In contrast, he never stopped Muslims from massacring Lakhs of Hindus.
