Delimitation Panel’s proposal which included the for six additional seats for the Jammu region and 1 for Kashmir has met with strong reaction from Kashmir’s political leaders.
The chief of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, “My apprehensions about the Delimitation Commission weren’t misplaced. They want to pitch people against each other by ignoring the population census & proposing 6 seats for one region & only one for Kashmir.”
Omar Abdullah, the former JK chief minister, and National Conference Vice president called the Delimitation proposal unacceptable.
He wrote on his Twitter handle, “The draft recommendation of the J&K delimitation commission is unacceptable. The distribution of newly created assembly constituencies with 6 going to Jammu & only 1 to Kashmir is not justified by the data of the 2011 census.
He added in another tweet, “It is deeply disappointing that the commission appears to have allowed the political agenda of the BJP to dictate its recommendations rather than the data which should have been it’s only consideration. Contrary to the promised “scientific approach” it’s a political approach.”
The People’s Conference and Apni Party who showed disappointment on the proposal of Delimitation commission.
