Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party against rehabilitation of militants in state

The Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party on Tuesday opposed any move to allow 'so-called' surrendered militants to return home from Pakistan via Nepal or recruit them in security forces or police.

"The so-called surrendered militants should not be brought to J&K from Pakistan via Nepal as NC-Congress government had been doing. This practice is followed by PDP-BJP government in spite of the show cause notices by the Supreme Court," Panthers Party chief Bhim Singh told reporters here.

He also said the government should stop recruiting surrendered militants into the security forces and police immediately. Singh said he had told the MLAs of BJP, which is a partner in the Mufti Sayeed-led coalition government, that they should understand that national interest is always supreme and above party politics which they should not forget.

The BJP MLAs should revolt against the "corrupt, criminal, communal and anti-national government and come out with clean mind and nationalist outlook", he said.
