| Bhim flays presidential address, says Gandhi was not 'Pravasi Bharatiya' | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 10: Describing Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Nation as 'Pravasi Bhartiya' and depicting his image as Pravasi Bhartiya in the Presidential Address was in a bad taste and did not go with the dignity of the Father of Nation, stated Prof Bhim Singh, Supremo of the Jammu Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP). Prof Bhim Singh said that there was no concept of 'NRI' in 1915 when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a Barrister returned to his motherland. India was under British Rule and every Indian had to carry a British passport. The concept of NRI was introduced after 1947. The NRI was differentiated from the residents of India for the purpose of Income Tax which has been elaborated in Section 6 of the Income Tax Act. He said Mahatma Gandhi was never a 'Pravasi Bharatiya' nor he took over any job in foreign country. He was a Barrister-at-Law and could practice in any of the British governed country. Prof Bhim Singh expressed surprise how an elite and visionary President of India signed this address which suffers from many anomalies and short falls. Prof Bhim Singh felt that Modi government has been exposed by its silence on the fate of Article 370 of the Constitution of India which has lasted for 65 years though it was only a temporary provision. Prof Bhim Singh said that the BJP had made commitment on the eve of Lok Sabha elections to the Ladakhis that BJP shall grant 'Union Territory' status to Ladakh. Why the Presidential address is silent on the issue? Can the Parliament grant any such status to Ladakh when the Parliament of India has no power or competence to legislate on any matter vis-à-vis J&K? |
