JAMMU, Jan 19: JKNPP leader Prof Bhim Singh today reiterated that creation of twin State of Jammu and Kashmir was the only way out to end discrimination, chaos and imbalance here.
“Time has come when J&K should be reorganized by establishing ‘twin states’; Kashmir Ghati State and Jammu State. The Treaty of Amritsar is no longer relevant after J&K merged with the Union of India by the signatures of the then Maharaja of J&K, Hari Singh in 1947. Ladakh region which was annexed under the leadership of General Zorawar Singh in 1842 and affiliated with Jammu Pradesh should be given a choice between Kashmir Ghati State and Jammu State. The Ladakhies if choose to be adopted as Union Territory, their choice should be respected. Gilgit and Baltistan which link close to Ladakh shall be declared as part and parcel of Ladakh region after the liberation of Gilgit-Baltistan,” he explained. Prof Bhim Singh announced that a convention shall be held soon in February with the participation of the social and political representatives from all regions to give a scientific shape to this proposition. He said that the two States shall continue as ‘twin States’ with separate provincial Governments but with one High Court and one Governor. This shall be done after a consensus of the people of the three regions.
Prof Bhim Singh declared that he would constitute a committee of social and political representatives irrespective of their political affiliations to mobilize the people’s opinion in support of this movement for reorganization of J&K.
