Talking about the Dogra rule over Jammu and Kashmir, Singh said, "The Dogra rule over Jammu and Kashmir lasted for a hundred years but there was never a major uprising. However, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah did try to arouse the emotions of the people. He said, "When the holy hair disappeared, I reached the shrine of Hazrat Bill and as soon as the people saw me, they shouted, 'Our king has come', 'Our king has come', which would have known. There was no resentment among the people here against the Dogra rule but Sheikh Abdullah incited the people against us. ”The leader said that Maharaja Hari Singh had taken several corrective measures, including a law on state subject. He said that the Dogris had made great sacrifices for Jammu and Kashmir but they are not mentioned in the history books. After Maharaja Hari Singh left Jammu and Kashmir, he never returned home. Regarding the return, he said, "Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah created the conditions for this too because at that time there was talk of a referendum. He knew that Maharaja Hari Singh was here. I can't win, so the Maharaja was sent out for six months and then those six months never came to an end. ”He said that the Congress was trying to give autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir if it took over.
