Attending Delmitation Commission meeting: PDP-NC on same page | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 18: Ahead of the much-publicized meeting of the Delimitation Commission with associate members, differences cropped up among constituents of Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) as Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) charged the panel with pursuing BJP’s agenda. The National Conference, the biggest constituent of the five-party-conglomeration, has already announced to attend Delimitation Commission’s scheduled meeting on December 20. “As far as Delimitation Commission is concerned, its BJP’s Commission. The panel is working on a hidden agenda to disempower the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We don’t have any faith in this Commission”, Mehbooba told media after addressing a youth convention at the border district of Rajouri on Saturday. When asked about the decision of the National Conference to participate in the scheduled meeting of the panel on December 20, Mehbooba replied, “it is own decision of the NC leadership. I can not comment on their decision”. The PDP had earlier boycotted the visit of the panel in J&K. Unlike representatives of other political parties which met the panel, PDP had written a letter and termed the whole exercise as “pre-planned”. Announcing its decision not to meet the Delimitation Commission, PDP described the whole exercise as “pre-planned” in favor of a particular party and “aimed to further hurt the interests of people of J&K”. Ending the suspense, National Conference on Saturday confirmed that all three Lok Sabha members of the party-who are associate members of the panel, would attend Delimitation Commission’s meeting on December 20. NC Lok Sabha member from Anantnag, Hasnain Masoodi on Saturday said that their party will attend the Delimitation Commission’s associate members meeting in New Delhi. “After receiving an invitation from the panel, the party has decided o attend the meeting to brief the Commission about the viewpoint of the NC”, he said. This would be NC’s first participation in the Delimitation Commission’s meet as earlier it turned down the invitation from the panel, saying that they would not attend the meeting as the delimitation exercise was being conducted under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, whose legality is under challenge. |
