| JKNPP demands separate assembly for Jammu | | | RUSTAM
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 11: Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) has once again demanded reorganization of the state, saying that the state is an unnatural formation and that Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh cannot co-exist under one administration. It is of the considered view that the people of Jammu province have suffered immensely in all spheres and at all levels during all the 63 years on independence at the hands of the Kashmiri leadership and its "cronies" in Jammu; that New Delhi has also been maltreating or ignoring the people of Jammu province and that time has finally come to say goodbye to Kashmir and have a system of government that is of the people of Jammu, for the people of Jammu and by the people of Jammu.
However, it would be seen if the JKNPP leadership would work to achieve what it hinted at on January 7 and 9 in Jammu. The JKNPP leadership on Friday and Sunday told reporters that it has fixed its agenda for the state for the year 2011 and that it would work for the establishment of a separate assembly for Jammu province. "Separate assembly for Jammu invested with full legislative powers can alone empower the people of Jammu province to adopt legislations aimed at fulfilling their needs, compulsions and aspirations," the JKNPP leadership has said.
In between, the JKNPP organized an interaction among very prominent persons, including retired Army Generals, writers, poets and several other sophisticated personalities of the Jammu province. A couple of persons from Kashmir also took part in the interaction and one of them was the party MLC.
Some of the prominent persons who took part in the interaction included Major General Jagdish Singh Jamwal, Major General Goverdhan Singh Jamwal, Padma Bhibhushan and former Director, All India Radio, Jammu, Jitendra Udhampuri, Sahitya Akedmy Award winner Praduman Singh Jandrahia; noted folk singer Ghulam Mohammad; MLC Syed Rafiq Shah, retired District and Sessions Judge Pavitar Singh; noted play writer and poet Mohan Singh, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police Ajit Singh Chamak, former Brahaman Sabha president Dev Raj Baru, senior Advocate Sham Sundar Anand Lehar; JD (U) Inder Mohinder Singh, to mention only a few.
All these persons - apart from others who participated in the interaction - were one as far as their stand on Jammu province was concerned. Everyone endorsed and supported the agenda the JKNPP has adopted for the current year and assured the party leadership of his full support. That all these persons, without any exception, supported the agenda as adopted by the JKNPP simply demonstrates that things in Jammu province have completely altered and that even such liberal persons like these two Generals and former Director, All India Radio, Jammu, and retired DIG are fed up with the existing politico-constitutional set-up for the simple reason that it has utterly failed to cater to even the basic needs of the people of Jammu province.
The manner in which these people, mostly non-political, have come forward to achieve a separate assembly for Jammu also indicates that the general mood in the province is for complete separation from Kashmir. What the JKNPP leadership promised to achieve for Jammu and what the participants in the interaction said on Saturday should leave no one in any doubt that Jammu province is heading towards a major confrontation with Kashmiri leadership. One thing has to be admitted: The people of Jammu province just can't live with the Kashmiri leadership and the state would wither away sooner than later. |
