DELIMITATION COMMISSION PROPOSES SIX EXTRA SEATS FOR JAMMU, ONE FOR KASHMIR VALLEY
The
Delimitation Commission has proposed to expand the quantity of Assembly
situates in Jammu locale to 43 and in Kashmir Valley to 47 while 24 seats are
relied upon to stay in Pakistan-involved Kashmir in a draft proposition talked
about during its gathering in New Delhi on Monday with the partner individuals.
Nine seats have been proposed for STs and seven for SCs in Jammu and Kashmir,
in its first paper drafted by the Commission.
The
commission on Monday called five Jammu and Kashmir MPs, including National
Conference's (NC) Farooq Abdullah, M Akbar Lone and Hasnain Masoodi, BJP's
representative for J&K Jitendra Singh and BJP's Jugal Kishore Sharma. It
has requested that the partner individuals present their ideas before the
finish of December.
"The
Commission has come out with a record that is impartially ready. All related
individuals, paying little mind to party, appreciated the work done by the
Delimitation Commission. NC individuals were likewise fulfilled by boundaries
followed by the Commission," Union Minister Jitendra Singh told the press
later the gathering.
NC
VP and previous boss pastor Omar Abdullah said the draft suggestion of the
commission was unsatisfactory. "The draft proposal of the J&K
delimitation commission is unsuitable. The conveyance of recently made
gathering supporters with 6 going to Jammu and simply 1 to Kashmir isn't
legitimized by the information of the 2011 evaluation," he tweeted.
"It
is profoundly baffling that the commission seems to have permitted the
political plan of the BJP to direct its suggestions rather than the information
which ought to have been its main thought. As opposed to the guaranteed
"logical methodology" it's a political methodology," the NC
chief added.
People
groups Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti tweeted: "My fears
about the Delimitation Commission werent lost. They need to pitch individuals
against one another by disregarding the populace statistics and preposing 6
seats for one locale and just one for Kashmir. This commision has been made
basically to serve BJPs political interests by isolating individuals along
strict and provincial lines. The genuine approach is to introduce an
administration in J&K which will legitimize the unlawful and illegal
choices of August 2019."
The
Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) likewise dismissed the board's proposition.
"J&K Apni Party dismisses the proposition of the delimitation
commission. This is fully unsuitable to us. Apni Party requests a reasonable
delimitation practice with practically no inclination, accepting populace and
locale as the base. We firmly request the GoI to mediate," it tweeted.

to address changes in populace over the long run. This activity is done by a
Delimitation Commission, whose orders have the power of law and can't be

light of the information of the last Census) in such a way with the goal that
the populace under all seats, similarly as practicable, is something similar
all through the state. Beside changing the restrictions of a voting
demographic, the interaction may likewise bring about changes in the quantity
of seats in a state.

the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's unique status in 2019, the public
authority set up the Delimitation Commission on March 6, 2020, headed by
resigned Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai.

board. The board additionally has five partner individuals — National
Conference MPs Farooq Abdullah, Mohammad Akbar Lone and Hasnain Masoodi, Union
Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Dr Jitendra Singh and Jugal
Kishore Sharma of the BJP.
Albeit

allowed a year's augmentation on March 4 this year later the board individuals
said they couldn't gain a lot of headway because of the Covid-initiated
lockdown the nation over.
