JAMMU, Feb 15: Newly elected president of JKNPP, Prof Bhim Singh today claimed that Statehood revival for the Jammu and Kashmir will be urgent mission of his party.
Addressing party functionaries here today, Bhim Singh gave an open call to all the nationalists/secularists and those who have been fighting for the return of fundamental rights in J&K, to join hands with JKNPP for the immediate revocation of statehood of J&K which was demolished by Modi Government on August 5, 2019 thus demolishing a State of Jammu and Kashmir which was raised in 1846 by Dogra Maharaja Gulab Singh.
“I and Panthers Party shall struggle for the revival of the 200 years old State of J&K. The decision of the BJP Government was most unfortunate, unacceptable and against the entire population of J&K,” Singh said.
“I appeal to all my friends, Party activists and even my critics to join hands for the return of the historic State of J&K and the glory of its people. The Panthers Party shall fight with all political, democratic and constitutional means for the return of statehood of J&K.” Singh claimed.
“The Panthers Party is urging the President of India to revoke the Governor Rule in J&K and direct the Union Govt to hold Assembly election in J&K immediately. I assure the people of J&K and rest of the country that Panthers Party shall continue its resistance movement for the restoration of democracy in J&K and delimitation of Assembly constituencies within six months so that the Assembly election shall be held at the earliest to establish a democratically elected Government in J&K.” Bhim Singh maintained.
Prof Bhim Singh also clasimed to organize a state conference of all the recognized political parties in J&K so that a joint movement for restoration of democracy and rule of law shall provide relief to the residents of J&K.
