JAMMU, Mar 30: Chief patron of J&K National Panthers Party (NPP) Prof Bhim Singh, has urged the Pranab Kumar Mukherjee, President of India for his intervention as constitutional head of the Union of India and the only intervening authority vis-à-vis the constitutional crisis in J&K under Article 370.
NPP supremo described the present situation in J&K as alarming as there is no governance at all. He said the Governor cannot exercise his executive or administrative or legislative power as the Govt of India has created a dangerous situation by proposing a coalition Government with the State political party PDP. He blamed Modi Government for the present chaos, lawlessness and the dangerous situation that has been emerging in J&K because of no governance. He said that nearly three months have gone and no Government could be constituted in the State because of the BJP’s intention to become a partner in the Government.
Prof Singh said that the Modi Government is responsible for the present situation that has emerged in the State. He said that the President of India is empowered to intervene in the situation to save the State from total chaos by his intervention under Article 370. He said that the Constitution of India does not allow the Union of India to interfere or intervene in any crisis prevailing in the State of J&K. Without going into the merits or the merits of the command of Article 370, Prof Singh said that national interest is more important than the RSS/BJP’s interest.
He said Article 370 provides full power to the President of India to intervene in the situation to save the unity, integrity and sovereignty of India. He said that sub-clause 3 in Article 370 has become infructuous for the reason that there is no constituent assembly present at the moment. Clause 3 has become infructuous and has to be considered as dead letter. It is therefore, the President of India by virtue of Article 370 who can intervene.
