JKNPP demo against surrender policy

Wants a debate in National Integration Council

PTI | February 18, 2010



The activists of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) on Wednesday staged a demonstration in front of the Raj Bhavan here protesting against the proposed surrender policy for return and rehabilitation of militants from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK).

Opposing the meeting between Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Union Home Minister P Chidrambam on the proposal, the party said it was like "spreading red-carpet for the return of about 20,000 militants trained in POK and Pakistan".

The activists appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convene a meeting of National Integration Council for a debate on the proposal.
