Panthers Party to celebrate Kashmir’s accession day
October 16th, 2011 - 3:53 pm ICT by IANSJammu, Oct 16 (IANS) The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) will celebrate Oct 27 - the day when Jammu and Kashmir acceded to India - as a national festival across the state, rebuffing the separatists’ call to protest against it as a “black day”.
JKNPP Chairman Bhim Singh Sunday exhorted the people of the state to join his party in the festivities.
“Accession is final, irrevocable and non-negotiable,” Bhim Singh said.
He condemned “the foreign forces” helping Pakistan with “mala fide intentions” to destabilize India.
The people of Jammu and Kashmir are grateful to their rulers for joining India, a “secular, socialist and democratic republic”, he added.
The last Dogra king of Jammu and Kashmir Maharaja Hari Singh had signed the accession document Oct 26, 1947.
Indian troops had Oct 27, 1947 landed in Srinagar to push back the tribals who had invaded the state with the active assistance of the Pakistani army.
