New Delhi/Jammu, December 23 (Scoop News) – Prof. Bhim Singh, Chairman, National Panthers Party today said, "The Congress and BJP leadership stand totally exposed for their support to the remarks of J&K’s Chief Minister inside Assembly last month that, ‘J&K is not integral part of India’. The Union Home Minister and his three musketeers (interlocutors) justified the statement of a constitutionally elected Chief Minister of J&K. BJP pronounced a cosmetic protest. On the other hand, both Congress and BJP leaders have condemned Samajwadi leader, Azam Khan for making a similarly objectionable statement on Centre-State relations vis-à-vis J&K".
In a statement Prof. Bhim Singh said that accusation of one and support to another on the same issue has exposed both Congress and BJP of their double standards policy vis-à-vis Jammu and Kashmir which both of them have been using as ‘Babri Masjid’ for their electoral gains.
He said that both of them have been manipulating to provide an excuse to J&K Chief Minister to prolong his political stay in J&K even if he challenged the State Accession to the Union of India. Before accusing Azam Khan, the Congress and BJP should clarify their stand for their support to Omar Abdullah on the same issue. However the Panthers Party Chief said that, "We the people of J&K had joined Union with our open mind and we shall continue to be Indians as long as the world survives. Thousands of Abdullahs, Khans or Geelanis cannot change the resolve of 12 millions people of Jammu and Kashmir".
