POONCH, Mar 10: The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party has made strong appeal to Parliament of India to intervene to ensure benefits of Fundamental Rights for residents of J&K by amending Article 370.
Addressing public meetings at Poonch and Surankote today, Prof Bhim Singh, chief patron of the party, said the people of J&K have been suffering and passing through miserable times since 1950, when Constitution of India was adopted by keeping the Indian citizens (residents of J&K) out of the scope of the Constitution. He said Panthers Party is committed to ensure delivery of all fundamental rights to the residents of J&K so that they are not deprived of the benefits of Fundamental Rights.
The NPP leader made an appeal to the residents of Poonch district who have been living in most difficult times and dangerous situation as Line of Control (LoC) which runs through the hills of Poonch district, that the only solution of the problems of J&K lies in reorganization of the State. He argued forcibly in favour of reorganization of J&K by establishing Jammu Pradesh and Kashmir valley State with freedom to the people of Ladakh region for opting Union Territory status.
Prof Singh strongly pleaded to make the temporary borders between India and Pakistan soft so that the divided families in thousands may get opportunity to cross LoC from either side without any problem or without any security risk. He said that reorganization of the State is the only way to ensure justice to the people of three regions.
The NPP leader pleaded that this mission for peace can be achieved by the intervention of the Parliament of India by amending Article 370. He said that people of J&K cannot enjoy the full freedom of India nor its privileges unless Article 370 is amended and the Parliament granted full power to intervene vis-à-vis J&K. He said that Parliament should intervene, amend Article 370 and empower Parliament to take care of all the subjects enumerated in Article 370. The subjects mentioned in List-II (State List) shall be transferred to the legislature of Jammu State and Kashmir valley State.
Anita Thakur, general secretary also addressed the rally and constituted women wing of the Panthers Party in Rajouri and Poonch districts.
