Panthers advocate separate Assemblies for 3 regions: Panthers Party chief Bhim Singh said today reorganisation of the state has now become inevitable in order to bring lasting peace, prosperity and reconciliation among Ladakh, Kashmir and Jammu regions. In a statement released here, he hoped that it would solve the differences among regions, which enjoy totally different, cultural, linguistic and geographical entities and would pave the way for overall growth. Elaborating the concept of reorganisation, he said separate legislative assemblies should be set up without tinkering with the federal structure of the state. It would provide liberty to the regions to preserve, protect and promote its distinct identity while remaining integral part of the Indian union within the meaning and scope of the amended Article 370.
