NEW DELHI, Apr 19: The leaders and activists of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers party (NPP) today staged a demonstration outside Pakistan High Commission here in protest against the gross interference of Pakistan in the internal affairs of India and its overt and covert support to secessionists and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
Led by Chairman of the party Harshdev Singh a large number of NPP leaders and activists including State president Balwant Singh Mankotia, Delhi Pradesh president, Rajiv Jolly Khosla, Bihar secretary Shyam Sunder Sharma, Balwinder Khosla, spokesman- Young Panthers Gagan Pratap Singh, State secretary, Panthers Trade Union Purshottam Parihar and Zonal president, Jammu District Neeraj Gupta, Mahfooz Khan, Mohd Junaid, Bhawani Maharaj, Swaran Singh Yadav, Jagmohan Paswan raised anti-Pak slogans and accusing Pakistan for converting Kashmir into a vortex of violence.
They were carrying National flags and raising pro-India and anti-Pak slogans. The ardent protestors amidst the heated exchanges and scuffles with the cops in front of the Pak embassy were arrested and detained in the Chankya Puri Police Station.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion Harshdev lambasted Pakistan for its designs in aiding and abetting militancy in J&K. Admonishing Pakistan for its terror training camps, its Hawala deals, its drug trafficking, its moral and material support to secessionism besides its highly malicious propaganda in the print and electronic media, against India, Mr Singh lamented that Pak’s notoriety had assumed alarming and unacceptable proportions. He said that recent statement of Hafiz Sayeed, the mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack who had admitted to the media that his organization HUD was sponsored by Pakistan Army, should be an eye opener for the international community.
Castigating the hostile neighbour for its highly dubious deals, Mr Singh cautioned Pakistan to break out from the mindset of duplicity, deceit and belligerence that it has embarked upon and to stop meddling in the affairs of J&K. He further called for vacation of Pak aggression from the occupied territories of J&K which are very much a part of the State. He said that Union Parliament had also passed a resolution in 1994 for liberating PoJK as this same fell within the domain of Indian Union.
Mr Mankotia while condemning Pakistan for inciting violence and trouble in J&K called upon the international community to take cognizance of the utter hostility and belligerence of the neighbouring country.
