| Delimitation Commission arriving today, PAGD still indecisive | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 5: While as other political parties have prepared their documents to be presented to the Delimitation Commission, the Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) is still undecided on meeting the panel. Although formal invitations have been extended to all the five constituents of the PAGD for meeting with Delimitation Commission, the alliance has maintained a silence over meeting with the visiting panel. In the official statement, the PAGD has not mentioned even a single word about the visit of the panel.
The Delimitation Commission has invited leaders of national and regional political parties in J&K for a meeting during its visit to the Union Territory from Tuesday, July 6.
Apart from meeting District Electoral Officers (DEOs) of all the 20 districts of Jammu and Kashmir, the Delimitation Commission led by retired judge Ranjana Prakash Desai and Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra will meet with representatives of political parties at Srinagar and Jammu. During its four-day visit, the commission will be interacting with the political parties and their leaders in Srinagar on July 6 and those in Jammu on July 8.
The PAGD has demanded the restoration of statehood before holding assembly elections in the Union Territory. “As far as the restoration of statehood is concerned, it has been BJPs commitment on the floor of the Parliament, and they must honour their word. So, any assembly election must be held only after the restoration of full statehood for J&K”, PAGD stated in a statement issued on Monday.
After a three-hour-long marathon meeting on Sunday evening, PAGD issued an official statement on Monday morning to clear its stand on the outcome after all-party meeting with Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on June 24. |
