Sack Abdullah: Bhim Singh

He claimed that the Jammu and Kashmir borders continued to remain volatile with nearly 19,000 Pakistani-trained soldiers operating within civilian garbs.

8220;In fact the J amp; K faces the biggest threat from Abdullah himself,8221; Singh alleged pointing out that foreign intelligence agencies like Pakistan8217;s ISI and America8217;s CIA were instrumental in stoking the communal fire. Singh however lamented that no political party had bothered to seriously consider the issue and castigated Abdullah for not allowing the Sena Dal to function properly.

Claiming that America8217;s intentions in the long run to check activities in China were to use Pakistan8217;s help in getting hold of Jammu and setting up an airbase, the Panthers party president charged that Abdullah had strong ties with America and was the US agent in India. Unfortunately no political party has realised this gameplan, Singh said adding that he had submitted a letter to the Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee demanding Abdullah8217;s dismissal.

Meanwhile, the party also announced its decision to organise a march from the Kashmir valley to Kanyakumari in September-October this year to commemorate the golden jubilee of the accession of the state too India and also to emphasise that the Kashmir problem was not one of Hindu-Muslim discord. Around 5,000 Muslim youths would march from the valley to Kanyakumari holding aloft the national tricolour, Singh said that the Kashmir problem was not owing to any animosity between Hindus and Muslims.

However both Hindus and Muslims alike, whoever upheld nationalist feelings, have had to face eviction from the valley. Singh also urged that the trouble torn regions of the State should be put under the control of the army for six months at least. The army has played a commendable role in the valley, Singh said adding that nearly 500 schools and 900 dispensaries had been started.
