J&K Delimitation Commission’s proposal suggesting creation of new constituencies unacceptable; National Conference
Srinagar,CNS,05-Feb; The National Conference (NC) on Saturday rejected the 2nd draft recommendations of the J&K Delimitation Commission saying that the draft proposal suggesting the creation of new constituencies and redrawing of others in Jammu and Kashmir is unacceptable to NC.
Addressing a presser in Srinagar, party spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said that NC summarily rejects draft working paper made available by Delimitation Commission to associate members on 4th February 2022 which has been drafted under particular agenda.
“Our recommendations for Ist draft have been clearly not taken into consideration and accordingly NC rejects the 2nd draft”, Dar said.
Dar further added that a detailed response of the party will be given after discussing the implications of what has been proposed in the report by the commission.
The fresh proposal included redrawing of constituencies in the union territory as well as increasing the number of constituencies — six in Jammu and one in Kashmir.
Pertinently, the mainstream political parties in the Valley had rejected the first draft proposal by the panel which proposed to increase six assembly seats in Jammu and one assembly seat in Kashmir.(CNS)
