Mehbooba joins hands with NC to deprive Jammu of its political share | PDP president questions Delimitation Commission constituted by the Union Government to redraw Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies of the UT of J&K | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 21: While as residents of Jammu region are hoping that Delimitation Commission would end decades long political discrimination with Jammu region, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti also joined with another Kashmir centric party-National Conference (NC), to deprive Jammu of its political share. While NC Lok Sabha members had boycotted the meeting of the Delimitation Commission, Mehbooba Mufti has termed this panel as a game-plan of BJP to create division in the society. “The tearing hurry with which the Government of India is railroading delimitation in J&K has raised genuine & serious apprehensions about the motives of this exercise. It’s a part of BJPs larger plan to divide & pit regions, religions & communities against each other”, Mehbooba tweeted from her official twitter handle. Constituted on March 6, 2020 to redraw Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies in newly carved Union Territory of J&K, the first meeting of the Panel was held on Thursday to seek suggestions/views on the process of delimitation in respect of the union territory. An overview on the process of delimitation based on the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act, 2019 and Delimitation Act, 2002 was presented before the members. The meeting of the commission was attended by two of the five associated members – Union minister Jitendra Singh and BJP leader and MP from Jammu, Jugal Kishore Sharma. The other three associated members of the commission – Farooq Abdullah, Mohammad Akbar Lone, Hasnain Masoodi – skipped the meeting. They had already informed Delimitation Commission chairperson Justice (Retd) Ranjana Prakash Desai in a letter about their inability to be present for the meeting. They also urged Justice Desai to go ahead with the delimitation process as the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 is under judicial scrutiny. |
