Jammu May 27 (UNI) The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) has decided to move the Supreme Court to seek direction to register cases against those political parties or groups advocating demilitarisation in the state.

Party Chairman Prof Bhim Singh, after addressing a press conference here told UNI that talking of demilitarisation and secession of territorial integrity of the country are fit case of 'treason', adding that those indulging in such acts should be brought to the books.
