JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) on Thursday sharply reacted the report of Delimitation Commission terming it totally biased, highly faulty, politically motivated and against the basic norms of delimitation.
“Our apprehensions have come true,” said JKPCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma explaining that the report has done great injustice to people in general, which appears to have been prapared, veted and finalised in the BJP headquarters.
“The commission has done simple eye wash of hearing people before the draft report and after that, but the report has cleared all doubts and exposed the approach of the commission,” he said.
he added that THE commission has neglected the fundamental principles and norms, ignored the aspirations of the people and did great injustice to different areas, segments and communities by ignoring topography, geography, connectivity, contiguity, physical features and population, which are the basic norms of delimitation, as per law.
The gap of population between constituencies has widened than before, as few constituencies are less than 50,000 population while several others having more than 1.90 lakh populations, he said adding that the commission done the most unimaginable task of clubbing the border areas of Jammu region with Anantnag for Lok Sabha which is totally unjustified in view of the topography, terrain, connectivity between two regions.
The commission was to do justice by correcting the gaps of the last commission but it has rather increased Injustice and widened the gap of discrimination on various fronts, he added.
