Not a verdict on whether it was fair. Just a dated, sourced log of when a present-day question got a 1947–1964 answer.

Patel Hote Toh Kashmir Poora Hota?
Asked about: During a roughly 90-minute speech in the Lok Sabha responding to the Motion of Thanks on the President's address.
“If Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel would have been the first prime minister of the country, all of Kashmir would have been ours.” The line attributes the unresolved status of Kashmir to Jawaharlal Nehru rather than Patel.

370 Bhi Nehru Ki Galti Thi?
Asked about: Moving the resolution and bill to abrogate Article 370 in the Rajya Sabha, in the actual debate that ended the provision.
Shah told the House that Article 370 itself was a mistake at its origin, arguing neither Jammu & Kashmir nor India had benefited from it. That laid the provision at Jawaharlal Nehru's door as part of the case for scrapping it.
