JAMMU, Feb 20: Ahead of formal re-joining of Panthers Party by Harsh Dev Singh, Government today sealed the party office at Gandhi Nagar Jammu.
The party office situated at 30-B Gandhi Nagar, was allotted to Prof Bhim Singh- founder of the Panthers Party, for residential purpose when he was Member of Legislative Council.
According to Vilakshan Singh, President of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP), a team of the Directorate of Estate Department reached the party office this morning and sealed it despite protest by the party leaders.
Pertinent to mention that Harsh Dev Singh, who quit Aam Aadmi Party on February 16 and announced to revive Panthers Party, was scheduled to formally join JKNPP on February 22 at the party office, 30-B Gandhi Nagar.
Strongly condemning the Government action of sealing the Panthers Party office, Harsh Dev Singh said that it was an absurd and motivated act of histrionics, which was executed only to demoralize the JKNPP cadre. He claimed that BJP had become skeptical about its future and feared a tsunami of Panthers Party in Jammu after his decision to rejoin and strengthen JKNPP.
JKNPP President Vilakshan Singh has claimed that the party office was also being used as residence of Jay Mala, widow of Prof Bhim Singh after death of the latter. “She has been rendered homeless by the Government without adopting due process of law,” he said and added that valuable assets of Jaya Mala and the party were lying in the premises sealed by the Government.
