NEW DELHI, Oct 26: The J&K’s merger with India and Accession Day was observed with great pomp and show by several political parties at India International Centre, here today.
Prof Sushil Kumar who had taught at JNU presided over the function while supremo of National Panthers Party (NPP), Prof Bhim Singh was the chief guest on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof Singh made the historical revelations on the legality of accession followed by merger of J&K.
He said those people who have been shouting loud to please their foreign masters expressing doubt about merger of J&K with the rest of the country were misleading the nation. Article 370 was enacted only to tame Maharaja Hari Singh as the head of the State, he added.
He said the Constituent Assembly of J&K in a resolution terminated the monarchy thus removing Maharaja Hari Singh as head of the State on August 20, 1952. With this act the temporary provisions of the Article 370 became infractuous, he added.
Others who addressed the function included Prof Sushil Kumar, Dr Raghubir Singh Shekhawat, Pramod Kumar Gupta, Attar Singh, Dr Manas Banerjee, Sushil Pokhriyal, Ms Renu Sharma, Kali Ram Tomar etc.
