JAMMU, July 5: Chief Patron of National Panthers Party (NPP) Prof Bhim Singh met Ramnath Kovind, President and submitted memorandum urging him to exercise his constitutional power in Article 370.
He told the President that people of J&K are nationalists, secular, peace-loving but have remained without the cover of Fundamental Rights which are available to every citizen of India.
Prof Singh said that one of the causes of the anger of the Indian citizens, particularly hailing from Kashmir province is that J&K has been denied Fundamental Rights enshrined in Chapter-III of the Indian Constitution.
He said that President has immense and independent powers to bring any change/modification in Article 370 of the Constitution of India at any time and this will give a new hope and add to the inspiration of the Indian citizens residing in J&K.
Prof Bhim Singh requested the President to invite some lawyers and law-makers to seek their opinions irrespective of political affiliation, on the subject.
President gave patient hearing to the issues raised by Prof Singh and assured that he will take appropriate decision.
