JAMMU, June 23: NPP leader Prof Bhim Singh today asked the BJP MLAs in J&K to prove their sense of nationalism and revolt against the alleged anti-India, anti-national and communal Government in the national interest.
In a statement, Prof Singh said that Government should stop recruiting surrendered militants into the security forces and police forthwith. “Secondly, the so-called surrendered militants should not be brought to J&K from Pakistan via Nepal as NC-Congress Government had been doing. This practice is followed by PDP-BJP Government in spite of the show cause notices by the Supreme Court,” he added.
Prof Bhim Singh claimed that some BJP MLAs met him recently and told him about the kind of hostile attitude towards them by their own ministers in J&K. “I told them to do what their conscious tells them to do,” Prof Singh said and recalled that he had revolted in 1981, when he was a Congress MLA and Sheikh Mohd Abdullah had introduced Bill No.9 (now Resettlement Act) enabling nearly 5 lacs Pakistanis to enter Jammu Pradesh and settle there. “I revolted against the mighty Congress and resigned from the Congress as well as the membership of the Assembly in 1982,” he added.
Prof Bhim Singh said that the BJP MLAs should understand that national interest is always supreme and above party politics which they should not forget.
He also sounded all units of the NPP including farmers council, PTU, Young Panthers, Women Power, NPSU, ex-servicemen cell, empower panchayats committee and all to mobilize every soul to take up the issue of delimitation of the Assembly constituencies, comprehensive settlement of 15 lac refugees and migrants from Pakistan along with AIIMS for Jammu.
