The NSA was speaking at a book launch in Delhi.Mir also said, "It is unfortunate that when a Muslim majority state rejected the two nation theory and went on to accede to a Hindu majority nation with trust, we are being harassed and pushed to the wall by these assaults on our state's special status."I would like the NSA to know that the Instrument of Accession is a valid legal document and nobody should forget the essence of Clause 8 of the Instrument of Accession, which shows in its opening sentence that the Instrument did not in any way effect the sovereignty in and over the acceding state."
