| NCP to boycott May 12 Srinagar meet | | ‘Demands constitution of Delimitation Commission in J&K’ | | Jammu May-11-
Terming the State Government’s proposal to increase 25 per cent seats in Jammu and Ladakh as irrational and unconstitutional, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has decided to boycott the meeting convened by the Chief Minister on May 12 to discuss the proposed Bill and called for constitution of a Delimitation Commission and enforcement of Right to Information Act, as is applicable in other parts of the country.
The State NCP working committee which met here today under the chairmanship of its President, Thakur Randhir Singh, discussed various issues confronting the State as also the proposed all parties meeting to be held at Srinagar on May 12 to discuss raising 25 per cent assembly seats in Kashmir and Jammu regions and the arrangements required to be made to celebrate the party’s 9th foundation day falling on June 10.
Reacting to the proposed forthcoming meeting of all parties for seeking support for the proposed bill to increase 25 per cent seats in Kashmir valley and the Jammu region, the NCP President described it as a futile exercise and strongly demanded constitution of fresh delimitation commission.
‘Saying that all the successive governments in the State have forsaken the rights of Jammu and Ladakh’, Randhir Singh asked the coalition government ‘not to move against the provisions of the Indian Constitution’, which clearly lays down the fresh delimitation and reorganization of Assembly and Parliament seats considering the size of the area, topography and the population.
The working committee in a resolution passed at the meeting asked the State government to enforce the Right to Information Act and suitably amend the existing Act to make it in tune with the Central Act.
‘Alleging that the present government like its predecessors has betrays its total lack of will and capacity to deal with the scourge of corruption’, the NCP said that ‘corrupt public men and bureaucrats are being rewarded’.
The NCP also decided to celebrate the party’s 9th foundation in the state and chalked out a detailed program for the purpose. The party will be celebrating its foundation day all over the state from June 10 to June 17. It also decided to maintain its own identity and fight the forthcoming assembly election in the state on its own symbol.
Among others, who attended the meeting, were B L Surry, Finder Mohan, Prof Baldev Singh, Prof P D Shastri, Amrit Singh, Ch Hussain Ali, Surjit Singh, Bhagat Gulab Chand, Ravi Dev Sharma, Fazal Husain, Balsam Singh, Hafizullah and Ghulam Ahmed Wani.
