114 seats, migrant quota cleared for J&K Assembly

The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, the former legislation seeking to reserve seats for “Kashmiri migrants, people displaced from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir [PoK] and Scheduled Tribes” in the yet-to-be constituted 114-seat J&K Assembly.

Responding to statements made by Opposition members that reading down of Article 370 of the Constitution in J&K could not put an end to terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that he never claimed so.

He said a “zero-terror” plan, formulated three years ago, will be “100 % implemented” by 2026 in J&K as he was sure that Narendra Modi government will return to power in 2024.
