Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 28: Congress and Coalition government cannot befool people by staging fake protests for demanding implementation of 73rd amendment in J&K Panchayati Raj Act and by announcing equitable development to all regions.
President Tehsil Thathri Development Front (TTDF), Kuldeep Kumar Rao and Sr. Vice President Kanwarjeet Singh Thakur have lamented that the Congress-NC government has failed to understand that equitable development is not possible without delimitation of assembly and parliamentary constituencies. The interlocutors on Jammu & Kashmir have also submitted in its report that demand for delimitation of Assembly constituencies was genuine and the assembly had powers to do it with two-third majority. Rao said that the state assembly during NC rule had passed a law under which the delimitation of assembly and parliamentary constituencies could not be held till 2026.
This has led to injustice with the Jammu Province which has more population and area than Kashmir but only 37 Assembly seats have been provided to Jammu as compared to Kashmir valley which has 46 assembly seats with less population and covers less area as compared to Jammu. Rao said that for equitable development to all the regions, earlier decision needs to be withdrawn to give justice to Jammu province. He said that Minister for Law & Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohd Sagar quoted in the assembly on October 3, 2011 that the Jammu & Kashmir Representation of peoples Act 1957 and said that delimitation can be done after the results of first census after 2026 are published.
They also appealed to all political parties to come above politics and support the bill on constitution of delimitation commission and implementation of 73rd&74th amendments in J&K Act in the coming session.
