Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 9: A five member delegation of S O S International - An Organization for PoJK Displaced Persons under the leadership of Rajiv Chuni, Prof. N. N. Sharma, V.K. Datta, Bhai Ram Singh and R. C. Sharma yesterday met Delimitation Commission and discussed the major issue of deprivation of representative process to Pak occupied Jammu Kashmir DPs and they are being bereft of from their democratic rights to cast the vote to elect the representative of their own area/constituency.
While narrating the PoJK DPs plights to the members of Delimitation Commission, chairman S. O. S. International Rajiv Chuni said that since 1947 the PoJK DPs have been kept in dark about electing their representatives and deprived off the democratic rights. He said that the essence of democracy is to provide right to elect their own representatives through voting process but here in the case of PoJK DPs they are participating in the voting process but they are electing representatives for other constituencies. He said BJP has promised in their election manifestos of 2014 and 2019 for de-freezing 1/3rd seats out of 24 seats reserved for PoJK but now they are backtracking on their promises. He said that the purpose of delimitation would be achieved if every person gets the right of voting to elect the representative of his own community and not under compulsion. He said that this is the high time to consider the genuine demands of PoJK DPs otherwise the exercise executed by the members of Delimitation Commission would be a futile exercise.
He said that one side government is claiming the PoK is the part of India on the other hand the government is not executing election on the assembly segments meant for people of PoJK that too when legitimate voter are available here in our Country as PoJK DPs. He said that one-third population had been migrated to this side and it is mandatory to defreeze at least 8 assembly seats so that the assembly elections might be executed on 8 seats. |
