The members of the J&K Delimitation Commission faced protests in Jammu as the panel embarked on a two–day visit on Monday to hold consultations with locals, civil society members and political parties before making its final draft public by May 6.
With Congress supporters raising slogans like “toad phood” commission during a sit–in in Jammu, J&K Congress president G.A. Mir said, “The recognised parties, which are not associate members of the panel, were not extended proper invitation or given enough time.
“The panel is offering just two hours to seek inputs from the entire Jammu region. Is this not a joke? We wanted to point out mistakes committed by the Commission. The constituencies have been drawn weirdly, without applying prescribed parameters.”
