Jammu, December 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, Harsh Dev Singh has lambasted the Indian government and the Delimitation Commission for their discriminatory move against the Jammu region and sought equitable share for it in allocation of Assembly seats. Harsh Dev Singh was addressing public meetings in Sangote, Kharwa and lower Kud in Chenani constituency.

Referring to the draft report of Delimitation Commission as circulated amongst the Associate members, he said that it had paved the way for continued subjugation of Jammu region. Allocating 43 seats for Jammu region as against 47 seats proposed for Kashmir was wholly unjustified in view of the norms and criteria laid down in sec 60 of J and K Reorganization Act for delimiting the Assembly constituencies.

Harsh pointed that even the Delimitation Commission had admitted that apart from population, the process of delimiting and redefining of the Assembly seats would be governed by geographical area, physical features, facilities of communication and public convenience.
