Rejecting the recommendations of the J&K Delimitation Commission, the Left parties called the report politically motivated and called for broader consultations before the recommendations were considered.
“The recommendations of the J&K Delimitation Commission are blatantly unjustified and illogical,” the CPI(M) Polit Bureau said in a statement here. It said the recommendations “are clearly politically motivated aimed at changing the demographic character and composition of J&K”. The party pointed out that the Commission has recommended an increase of six seats in the Jammu region while only one in the Kashmir valley.
