JAMMU: Hailing the final report of Delimitation Commission, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta on Friday asserted that history has been created by undoing the injustice with the people of J&K and ensuring fair play for one and all by waning off all the provisions which were discriminatory by rationally redrawing the constituencies and giving reservation to deserving lot without any prejudice. In a statement issued to media persons, the BJP stalwart from J&K welcomed the Final Report of Delimitation Commission claiming that Jammu has been provided justice after decades of neglect and partiality. He said that reservation to SCs and STs in such a large proportion is also a historical step and will go a long way in providing justice to those sections of people who were dejected and crestfallen for the last several decades due to lopsided attitude of Kashmir-centric parties that ruled the roost in J&K taking undue privilege of Article 370. The former Deputy Chief Minister also urged the government to consider the recommendations made by the aforesaid Commission for nomination of two Kashmiri migrants including a woman to the Legislative Assembly and also giving the displaced persons of PoJK some representation by way of nomination of their representatives in the aforesaid Assembly. Kavinder said that recommendations made by the Delimitation Commission in favour of Kashmiri Pandit Community and that of PoJK refugees holds much significance because both these communities have faced injustice since decades due to non-representation in the erstwhile state Assembly. He said that the BJP Government has ensured justice to the displaced community from PoJK by providing Rs 5.5 lakh compensation which no government in the past had even thought of doing the same. He said that all the entities in J&K except those who used to exploit different sections are satisfied with the final report of the Delimitation Commission. He said that the aforesaid Commission has paved way for justice to all through this comprehensive exercise and therefore deserves kudos for the same.
