NPP gave a call to all its activists to join the movement
for the restoration of the statehood of J&K
The NPP leadership has given a call to the leadership at District and Block levels to the Panthers Party leadership to wake up call to all residents of Jammu and Kashmir to move every person and even all political parties to join hands to strengthen the movement to save the integrity of Jammu and Kashmir and its fundamentals rights which were granted to its Permanents Residents by the Constituent Assembly of India.
Prof. Bhim Singh, Chief Patron-JKNPP has contacted several senior leaders of other state and national political parties. He has also invited them all, to join and stand together in defence of the civil and political rights of the Permanent Residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
Prof. Bhim Singh had the opportunity to talk to several senior leaders of recognised political parties in this regard from Kashmir Valley and Ladakh also.
Prof. Bhim Singh also talked to Dr Farooq Abdullah and other leaders in Kashmir from other political parties. He also conveyed the message of solidarity with the leadership of different political parties and social activists in J&K.
Prof. Bhim Singh said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have two urgent issues. First is to settle with Prime Minister Modi government in Delhi is the immediate need to restore statehood of Jammu and Kashmir which was founded by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1846. This was demolished by Govt. of India on August 5, 2019, when Parliament passed a law. The statehood could not have been demolished as it was Maharaja Hari Singh who in 1927 issued a Royal Declaration introducing ‘State Subject’ (Permanent Residents’ Status) to all the State Subjects of Jammu and Kashmir. The second issue is to preserve constitutional guarantee providing Permanent Residents’ Status to every citizen of India who was born in Jammu and Kashmir. Secondly, this is shocking that Govt. of India has deprived the Permanent Residents of their rights which were guaranteed to them. The second tragedy with the Permanent Residents of J&K is that Govt. of India under President’s Rule has deprived this basic right to the Permanent Residents of J&K that they have exclusive rights to hold immovable property including land in J&K as exclusive right. The outsiders who are not Permanent Residents like visitors/employees from outside J&K have no right vested in them to purchase or own any land/immovable property in J&K. This is the tragedy that the BJP Govt. has introduced this new Law through an Ordinance which could not have been done within the command of Maharaja’s Royal Decree issued in 1927 and the command of Constitution of India.
Prof.Bhim Singh who was Legislator for 15 years in J&K, Sr. Advocate in the Supreme Court has addressed a forceful letter/representation to Shri Ramnath Kovind, the President of India seeking his intervention at the earliest because the Govt. of India has no power, competence to demolish the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir which was founded by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1846. Secondly, India had moved a case before the Security Council against Pakistan for forcibly acquiring half of the state by force/aggression in 1947/48. The Security Council has directed Pakistan to withdraw all its forces from the occupied territory of J&K. This case is still pending before the Security Council. He has, in his representation, urged the President of India that statehood of J&K has to be restored in order to keep India’s claim on the occupied territory by Pakistan & China. NPP Supremo called a second blunder by the BJP Govt. by reducing J&K into a Union Territory. This has made India’s position weak before the United Nations.
