Chand Ji Bhat, president BJP Displaced District Kashmir, Rajeev Pandita spokesperson BJP Displaced District Kashmir, Vimal Raina election incharge DDC BJP KDD, H K Razdhan and Sanjay Bhat general secretary BJP Kashmir displaced district were also present in the press conference. "The community has been fighting for its right to participate meaningfully in democratic exercise ever since the first election after the 1990-Mass Exodus was held in 1996. Community represented its case highlighting lacunas and level of manipulation possible under a complicated mechanism," Bharti said. He said that Election Commission was convinced and gradual improvements, though insufficient, were introduced that allowed in-person voting for the Displaced Community designated as 'Notified Voters'.
