Prof. Saifuddin Soz, former Union Minister on Tuesday said that the entire process of Delimitation in Jammu and Kashmir smacks of a conspiracy hatched by the RSS to change the demography of the State and ultimately install a Hindu Chief Minister in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that RSS seems to have succeeded in making the J&K Delimitation Commission propose six additional Assembly seats for Jammu and only one seat for Kashmir. “This recommendation of the Commission goes against the most crucial criteria for Delimitation that is population and the same attitude shows the Commission itself in extremely poor light,” he said. Soz said that the census of 2011 shows the population of Kashmir as 69,07,623, Jammu as 53,50,811 and Ladakh as 2,90,492. “The official website of the Mini...

Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) leaders will attend the Delimitation Commission’s associate members meeting in New Delhi next week, party MP Hasnain Masoodi said on Saturday. He, however, said, there was no shift in the party’s stand that the exercise “offends” the spirit of the Constitution. “Seeing the overall scenario, the party has decided that its MPs will attend the meeting,” Masoodi, the MP from south Kashmir’s Anantnag, told PTI. He said since the commissions cannot travel to the length and breadth of the Union Territory, they cannot hear what people have to say. “So, we will take the people’s viewpoint to the commission,” he said, adding all three MPs from the party — NC president Farooq Abdullah, Akbar Lone and himself — will arrive in Delhi.buy finasteride...

"Please at least have the courtesy to show even some pretense and explain how it was tantamount to endorsement then and not now. Digital world. Digital proof. Chit bhi meri patt be ...

National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah Thursday said that he and his party will accept the delimitation process only if it is done on the basis of 2011 census and if the exercise is aimed at appeasing any political party, the move will face stiff opposition. Omar also said that BJP’s plan was to introduce a bill in support of abrogation of article 370 in the J&K abrogation and that Centre was delaying the hearing on roll back of special status in the Supreme Court as it knows it can’t defend its case. Talking to reporters after addressing a rally in northern district of Bandipora, Omar said that delimitation exercise will be only acceptable to NC if it is done on the basis of 2011 Census. “If delimitation is done to appease some particular political party, we will oppos...
