Bhim Singh, Chief Patron of National Panthers Party (NPP) today urged Parliament of India to take initiative to ensure return of peace in the Valley and delivery of justice to those including children who have been denied justice and equity in the smokes leaping in the Valley of Kashmir due to bandh, closure, deadlocks, firing and lawlessness in the entire Valley of J&K.
Addressing a press conference here, Singh said he was advised by the Supreme Court to visit Kashmir Valley while Panthers Party’s writ petition was being argued before the court of Chief Justice of India that he (Bhim Singh) should visit Valley and come back with the ground reality vis-à-vis Kashmir Valley.

He requested the State Government to allow him to visit Districts of Anantnag, Budgam, Baramulla, Kupwara and other areas affected by violence and 52 days bandh and strikes.
He demanded that a committee under the leadership of Dr. Karan Singh, former Maharaja of J&K, be constituted with all prominent members of the Hurriyat Conference in it.
Singh said that a representative of every recognized political party in J&K should also be included in the committee.
