J&K Panthers Party Founder's Son Removed From Blacklist, Gets Emergency Visa

The son of Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party founder Bhim Singh, Navdeep Singh, has been removed from the blacklist and has been granted an emergency visa to visit India. Navdeep had been barred from entering India due to his past association with the Sikh separatist movement in the 1980s.

Navdeep had been living in the United States for the past 30 years and had been denied an Indian visa multiple times. However, he was finally able to obtain an emergency visa after his father's intervention and after several meetings with Indian officials.

In a statement, Bhim Singh expressed his gratitude to the Indian government for removing his son's name from the blacklist. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their support.

Navdeep is expected to arrive in India soon to meet his family and to take care of his father, who is reportedly unwell.

This move by the Indian government is being seen as a step towards reconciliation and is expected to improve relations with the Sikh community.
