NEW DELHI, July 13: Chief patron of National Panthers Party Prof Bhim Singh has expressed dismay and surprise on the silence of Prime Minister Modi on the `so-called’ issue of J&K with Pakistan.
NPP leader asked Prime Minister to understand the real crux of the matter from the record, UN Resolutions, Pakistan’s violation of UN Resolutions and betrayal of the people. Bhim Singh who is said to be an expert on J&K affairs, asked Prime Minister to invite Prime Minister of Pakistan to talk on J&K straight and without menacing words.
Mr Singh said firstly, Pakistan should explain why it attacked J&K in 1947? Why Pakistan grabbed half of Jammu province in 1947 when J&K had lawfully acceded to the Union of India on October 27, 1947? How Pakistan grabbed Gilgit-Baltistan comprising 28,000 sq. miles after the declaration of ceasefire in utter violation of UN Resolution?
NPP founder wondered continuous silence on the part of successive Indian Government on the illegal occupation/usurpation/annexation by Pakistan of entire Gilgit-Baltistan including Chitral. He questioned the Govt of India, why it did not raise the issue before the United Nations in 2009 when Pakistan annexed entire Gilgit-Baltistan region by declaring it as its 6th province, a blatant violation of UN Resolution. NPP Supremo asked Mr Modi to tell Pakistan to get entire Karakoram Highway sub-region comprising 4600 sq miles of India’s territory back from China which was even on 99 years lease to China by Pakistan. What was the locus of Pakistan to sell Indian territory in Karakoram?
He pointed out that UN Resolutions had given clear mandate that Indian Army shall look after entire State of J&K including Gilgit-Baltistan and the so-called ‘Azad Kashmir’. Why India did not and does not insist on the issues?
Prof Singh called on the Indian intelligentsia, historians, the media and the politicians particularly the MPs to tell the people of India and the international community these facts of history. Let Pakistan answer these questions it has avoided because of the failure of the Indian leadership to speak on Kashmir.
Bhim Singh wondered that silence on the part of Congress, Left parties, the socialist was due to their vote bank mission but he wondered why the so-called nationalist leadership of the BJP is following the Congress and the Left Parties.
