JAMMU: Ankit Love, No.1 hit MTV US music artist, ex Mayor of London candidate, and chief patron of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) met with Abdul Rahim Rather, Honourable Speaker of the House of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly yesterday afternoon, during a break of the Legislative Assembly session currently in progress in Jammu. 

Abdul Rahim Rather, fondly recalled how Love’s father Prof. Bhim Singh JKNPP founder and he had both first won their assembly seats in 1977. He said it was a great loss to the people of Jammu and Kashmir that Prof. Bhim Singh passed away in 2022 and then his wife the unforgettable journalist and advocate  Jay Mala “who was a panther for justice.” Abdul Rahim Rather said, who has won an unprecedented 7 elections for National Conference from the Charari Sharief constituency in Budgam district. Which excluding periods of extended president’s rule from 1991 and 2019 is almost 50 years of continuous membership of the assembly. A record for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly. 

Love and Rather passionately discussed several matters in regards to the future development for Jammu and Kashmir, including Love’s dream of building 5 star world class quality eco-friendly winter resorts in the snowy Himalayan peaks, to compete with Switzerland and France. These large scale complete new ski villages would bring high net worth tourists and greater foreign currency reserves to the exchequer as never witnessed before.

Love said that the developments would ensure thousands of new highest quality jobs and training reserved for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “We have the world’s most valuable winter resort natural settings these are worth trillions  of dollars in natural calibration. This is an untapped natural resource, we must have the will to build the best and the finest hotels and touristic towns.” Ankit Love expressed emphatically to the honourable speaker.  

Love said that he would be able to bring large scale multi-billion dollars investment partners for these large scale ski resort developments including high end airports upgrades, luxury retail and winter sports facilities that would serve as the home training grounds for the Indian Winter Olympics team. “I have a dream to upgrade the compete infrastructure for our Indian winter Olympics team with the firm aim of winning the total gold tally in future Winter Olympics games.

India must be number one! We have the people! We have the power! This with the right mindset and organisation is the inevitable with the all year round winter sports training climate in Jammu and Kashmir and India’s population pool of over 1.4 billion people to select talented athletes from.” Ankit Love stated. 

Ultimately, Love expressed the greater vision for certain peaks earmarked for development across Jammu and Kashmir to create the finest facilities that would be the pride of Asia and form the basis for a bid to host the 2038 Winter Olympics in India for the very first time ever.
