30101947 Text of Telegram from the Pakistan Prime Minister to the British Prime Minister sent on October 30, 1947
'"Please refer to our telegram of yesterday conveying that a meeting attended by Governors-General and Prime Ministers of Pakistan and India was to be held today at Lahore to discuss Kashmir issue. This meeting could not be held owing to the unfortunate illness of Mr. Nehru. It is hoped we will be able to hold it on Saturday.
In the meantime resentment among the tribes of North-West Frontier is rapidly growing and a very dangerous situation indeed may arise. To attempt to stop the tribes going to Kashmir now would involve us in a major Frontier war. I have wired to Mr. Nehru to this effect pointing out that the tribal movement began as the result of attacks on Poonch Muslims and massacre of Jammu Muslims by the State troops and that. The present situation is due to India's action in sending troops to Kashmir. The killing of Muslims in Jammu and raids by State troops into Pakistan continue. The situation here and in N.W.F.P. is extremely critical."
