Divide Jammu and Kashmir into four: VHP

Daily Times Report

NEW DELHI: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Sunday demanded the division of Indian-held Jammu and Kashmir into four parts, including a separate enclave with union territory status for resettling migrant Kashmiri pandits.

Alleging neglect, discrimination, injustice and deep rooted bias against Jammu and Ladakh by successive regimes in Srinagar, VHP’s Margdarshak Mandal (central advisory board) meeting demanded carving out of a separate state, comprising Jammu, Kathua, Udhampur, Doda, Poonch and Rajouri.

The resolution on the Jammu and Kashmir issue demanded partition of the Kashmir valley and creation of a union territory for resettling Kashmiri pandits in the area north east of the Jehlum river.
