JAMMU, Sept 4: Unhappy over the decision of the Union and State Governments to invite the political parties to meet the All Party Delegation (APD) in Kashmir only, J&K National Panther Party activists spearheaded by former Minister and senior NPP leader Harshdev Singh and Balwant Singh Mankotia State president staged a protest demonstration at Exhibition Ground here today.
Addressing the media, Harshdev disclosed that the Govt functionaries had intimated the NPP that the political parties could interact with central delegation only in Kashmir and the meetings in Jammu region were to be held only with the representatives of the civil society as per the itinerary. He dubbed the outright exclusion of political class as malevolent proposition and alleged the BJP for contemplating such malicious moves to keep the regional political leadership away from the All Party Delegation.
Expressing dismay over the State Govt’s invitation to NPP for meeting the All Party Delegation in the Valley, Harsh dev said it defied logic to invite the political leadership of Jammu to place the concerns and issues of Dogra land before the Central delegation in Kashmir valley rather than Jammu itself.
He said that NPP has decided to boycott Kashmir’s invitation to meet the Central delegation for not been summoned in Jammu. He added that it would also vindicate the statement of the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti that Jammu had failed to produce any political leader.
