SRINAGAR: Prof Bhim Singh, the leader of the National Panthers Party, died on Tuesday at his home in Jammu after a long illness, according to officials. He was 80 years old.
According to the offical statement, Singh died at the hospital around 8:45 a.m. today. For the past few months, the NPP chief has been ill. In a tweet, BJP leader Devender Singh Rana expressed his condolences for Singh's death.
"J&K has lost a prominent political figure in the tragic death of Prof Bhim Singh ji, who always raised the voice of the people of J&K in all fora. A fiery leader from a remote village in Ramnagar evolved through global exposure and understanding "Rana wrote.
Singh, who was born in August 1941 in the Ramnagar area of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, founded the Panthers Party in 1982 with his wife Jay Mala. He served as party chairman for 30 years, until 2012, when he was succeeded by his nephew Harsh Dev Singh. He returned to active leadership last year after being elected president of the Panthers Party.
In the sad demise of Prof Bhim Singh ji J&K has lost a prominent political figure who always raised the voice of the people of J&K in all foras . A firebrand leader who came from a remote village in Ramnagar evolved himself with global exposure and understanding.
