Prof. Bhim Singh while addressing the media in Doda, Bhaderwah & Kishtwar made an earnest appeal to the people of the area, “to unite so that the enemies of the people and corruption-ridden ministers shall be punished for their criminal acts. The enemies of peace abetted by colonial powers like Anglo-American Bloc must be defeated to save peace in the world. The Anglo-American Bloc has been conspiring against India to destabilize it and it is Dixon Plan in J&K. In spite of everything, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru deserves commendation for rejecting Dixon Plan and National Conference proposal of 1952 Agreement to create a buffer state in J&K. The people of Jammu Pradesh have a great role to play for their future prosperity. Communal harmony is the soul of democracy and the roadmap to strengthen State-Centre relation. The people of Doda and Kishtwar have a great role to play for Reorganization of the State which is the only way out
