Jammu, August 16: After months criticism on functioning of the coalition government, the Jammu and Kashmir Nathional Panthers Party supremo Bhim Singh has found yet another reason to criticise the Chief Minister. Singh has now objected that Chief Minister skipped word Jai Hind in his Independence Day address.
In a statement here today, Bhim Singh said that ‘‘the stances of the Chief Minister and his MP daughter who smack of distance from mainstream should not be taken non-seriously by the Central government’’.
He said that this is an open defying Constitutional obligation to wish Jai Hind to the people on national days, more so on Independence Day. ‘‘It was Sayeed who persuaded the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to skip Jai Hind to conclude his address to the public at Srinagar on April 18, 2003,’’ said Bhim Singh.
Singh said that his party has also taken serious note of PDP president for condemning the Army, paramilitary forces and demanding their replacement by state police. ‘‘Lapses by the Chief Minister and the PDP chief are not good signal for strengthening nationalistic forces in the state,’’ said the JKLNPP supremo.
He said a meeting of the party it has also been decided to take up the matter with the President, Prime Minister and the Congress president and seek action against the Chief Minister and the PDP president.<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:Optima'> Link Please</span></span>
