JAMMU, June 12: Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) has described the ‘New Media Policy’ as grave threat to the Fundamental Rights and freedom of Press.
Addressing a press conference, Prof Bhim Singh, Chief Patron of JKNPP informed that a meeting of the JKNPP was called here to work out an immediate and constitutional remedy to save the Indian citizens in Jammu and Kashmir.
He informed that the Jammu and Kashmir has been deprived of its constitutional right and even Fundamental Rights of its residents.
“The first tragedy with the people of Jammu and Kashmir that it (J&K) was converted into two Union Territories and deprived of all Fundamental Rights inspite the removal of Article 35A”, Prof Singh stated.
He informed that another tragedy with the people of Jammu and Kashmir was that the Article 35A was allowed indirectly by empowering the administration of the Union Territory to deprive residents of Jammu and Kashmir of all their Fundamental Rights, which was unconstitutional and not permitted under the command of the Constitution of India.
“The third tragedy that residents of Jammu and Kashmir were deprived of all their Fundamental Rights under an old outdated Assembly Law Public Safety Act, which is no more a valid law and its existence and validity has been challenged in the Supreme Court of India by me”, he informed.
He stated that the latest tragedy with the residents of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh is that the freedom of speech and expression and other freedoms guaranteed in Articles 19, 21 and other provisions of the Constitution of India have been crucified (killed) by introducing a new draconian law ‘New Media Policy’ in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
J&K National Panthers Party has expressed full support to all fighting against this draconian law legally, constitutionally, politically and otherwise.
Prof Singh said that the Legal Aid Committee shall also knock the doors of the Supreme Court in case this draconian and dictatorial ‘New Media Policy’ is not withdrawn within two weeks.
