पुढील चार विधानांपैकी कोणते चुकीचे आहे ?

The correct answer is Option B (The people of Jammu and Kashmir supported them.).

Key Points:
• Kashmir Infiltration and Accession (October 1947):
• Pakistani Invasion (Operation Gulmarg): In October 1947, armed tribal raiders (Afridis, Mahsuds) led by regular Pakistani army officers invaded Kashmir, unleashing plunder, murder, and pillage in Baramulla and Muzaffarabad.
• Resistance by Local Population: Statement (2) is completely incorrect. The local Kashmiri people and the dominant political force, the National Conference led by Sheikh Abdullah, organized massive civil defense militias against the Pakistani raiders to defend Srinagar rather than supporting them.
• Instrument of Accession: Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession on 26th October 1947, after which the Indian Army was airlifted to Srinagar to repel the invaders.
• Therefore, statement (2) is false (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: Kashmiris and National Conference resisted Pakistani invaders instead of supporting them during the October 1947 invasion.
