JAMMU, Mar 8: Chief patron of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (NPP) Prof Bhim Singh has claimed that his party is committed for reorganization of the Jammu and Kashmir State.
Addressing a press conference here today, Prof Singh declared that the NPP shall be celebrating its 33rd Foundation Day involving many students, youth and revolutionary young people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Party shall lead the movement of the secular, progressive and nationalist forces in the State to ensure justice, equity and equality to the new generation in Ladakh, Kashmir valley and Jammu Pradesh which got integrated in 1846 under the leadership of Maharaja Gulab Singh.
The Panthers Party was formulated by several secular, progressive, nationalist, political activists mostly the Congressmen in 1982 under the leadership of Prof Bhim Singh, the then sitting Congress MLA. The first meeting was chaired by Thakur Dass Chanotra the then District president of the Congress Party at Town Hall Udhampur on 23rd March 1982. “ I resigned from MLAship and was declared first president of the Panthers Party which declared that the party shall fight for the establishment of Jammu State, Kashmir Valley State and Ladakh,” Bhim Singh maintained.
The Panthers Party has a commitment to ‘reorganize’ Jammu and Kashmir by the establishment of Kashmir valley State, Jammu State with separate Chief Ministers. The party ensures freedom to the people of Ladakh to choose between Union Territory or Kashmir Valley or Jammu State. The Panthers Party stands for confederation of Jammu State, Kashmir Valley State and Ladakh region (unless Ladakh prefers Union Territory status).
The state subjects mentioned in item 3 in the 7th Scheduled Tribes shall be governed by State Government. The subjects mentioned in concurrent list (III) may be looked after jointly by the two States. The items included in central list (I) shall be taken care of (monitored) by the Parliament. This is the mission of the Panthers Party for which it is mobilizing the general opinion particularly that of the youth. This is the only solution of the so called Kashmir issue, Mr Singh maintained.
He said that NPP leadership shall start 10- day tour from Jammu-Poonch-Reasi-Ramban—Kishtwar-Doda-Udhampur and finally shall return to Jammu after visiting Kathua and Samba districts
