Q. “As you have said in your statement the standstill agreement made by the Jammu and Kashmir Government has not been honoured by the Pakistan Government. Was it not a tactical mistake that the standstill agreement was not signed with the Indian Dominion and was done with Pakistan Government only?”
A. “I cannot tell you why my predecessor did so.”
Q. “But is it not owing to the non-existence of the standstill agreement with the Indian Union that they are not prepared to help us ?”
A. “No. they are quite willing.”
Q. “You said you would welcome cooperation from the Press. Are you going to set up some sort of Press Advisory Board to form a via media?”
A. “I do not believe in Boards. You can always come and meet me and I will explain to you whatever you want.”
Q. “We came to know that you have prepared a constitutional scheme for the State. Can you give us an idea of that?”

Q. “Do you know that with pre-censorship the papers in the State have to face many difficulties?”
A. “I know what pre-censorship means. I do not like it but as I have said I do not know why this is being done. It will continue only if we cannot live without it and provided you do not abuse your privilege.”
Q. “You have mentioned in your statement about industrial development. Have you any scheme or schemes for this purpose ?”
A. “I have many. As I have said already immediately you can guarantee internal security and give me full cooperation. within two months. I can give you a cement factory.
