NEW DELHI, Nov 30: Raising the issue in the national committee of State Legal Aid Panel organized to determine the position of the Union Govt led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, executive chairman of the State Legal Aid Committee and senior Supreme Court lawyer Prof Bhim Singh sought clarification from the Prime Minister on the constitutional status of the State of J&K as it existed in 1947 under the sovereignty of Dogra rulers.
While addressing the eminent lawyers from different parts of the country Prof Singh said that Article 370 was inserted in the Constitution of India by keeping J&K out of the constitutional map of the Union in 1950. He said Maharaja Hari Singh signed Instrument of Accession on Oct 26, 1947 and merged the State with the Union of India. This was an international conspiracy to keep J&K away from the Union of India.
He further said that the Congress leadership played in the hands of international conspirators and worked out the Indian leadership to the CIA strategy to keep J&K away from India. He asked why J&K was not integrated with the Union in 1950 and why it was delayed till 1952 when Sheikh Abdullah conspired with the CIA and the US lobby to dissect J&K from the rest of the country.
Prof Singh said that Sheikh Abdullah apologized for his blunder and surrendered before former PM Indira Gandhi. He said that Article 370 became irrelevant and non-existent after Sheikh Abdullah signed a surrender document called ‘Alliance with Delhi’ in 1975. He said that Article 370 should have been declared void in 1975 itself. He said that international conspirators including the western powers including the USA wanted to establish an international platform in the region to keep a check on China.
He said that a statement made by the eldest son of Sheikh Mohd Abdullah and the former Chief Minister of J&K, Farooq Abdullah saying that entire PoK including Gilgit- Baltistan form legitimate part of Pakistan is a stand of National Conference, the PDP and Congress have been splinter groups in the State working as agents of the Anglo-American interest.
Prof Singh accused Prime Minister Modi of playing in the hands of the Anglo-American lobby and help them create a situation to enable the country to allow Kashmir to be segregated from the rest of the country. He expressed shock on the silence of the nationalist political parties for keeping silence over the present situation which has been incited now by Dr Farooq Abdullah.
Bhim Singh said that J&K including Gilgit & Baltistan form integral part of the Union of India being constituent of the former State of J&K under Maharaja Hari Singh. He demanded immediate dismissal of the present Assembly in J&K as well as the Assembly in Gilgit-Baltistan so that the people shall elect the Governments according to the rule of law. He demanded that Parliament should amend Article 370 without any delay.
