JAMMU, Jan 30: Chief patron of J&K National Panthers Party (JKNPP) Prof Bhim Singh has alleged that J&K has not been integrated constitutionally by the Union Parliament even after 70 years of signing of Instrument of Accession on October 26, 1947.
Addressing media-persons here today, the NPP leader said, “Nearly 70 years are over since J&K signed Instrument of Accession on 26th October 1947, the Jammu and Kashmir has not been integrated constitutionally by the Parliament. The Governments which ruled India since 1947 are responsible for this unfortunate situation. People of J&K acceded to the Union of India in 1947 in accordance with the Act of British Parliament. Jammu and Kashmir was not integrated by the Parliament in 1950 when Indian Constitution was adopted,” Prof Singh maintained.
The NPP stalwart further said that several States were reorganized except J&K. He said that Treaty of Amritsar became infructuous in 1950 when Constitution of India was created. He said that J&K has three distinct identities culturally, politically and geographically as well as linguistically. He said that J&K has to be reorganized without any delay by establishing a confederation of Kashmir Valley and Jammu State, whereas, the people of Ladakh should be given status of Union Territory.
The PoK including Muzaffrabad should be given a choice to choose Jammu State or otherwise. Whereas, Gilgit- Baltistan should be given a choice to merge with Ladakh region whenever, they wish so. Reorganization of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh confederation is the only way out to ensure justice, equity and development to the people of all the regions with honour, dignity and justice, he said.
Prof Singh declared to hold three day convention of the representatives of social and political organizations in Jammu in the first week of March to promote this mission among the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
Others present on the occasion included Balwant Singh Mankotia Ex-MLA and senior leaders Anita Thakur and Parshotam Singh Parihar.
