In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, National Conference says Delimitation Commission is fulfilling the agenda of Bharatiya Janata Party of disempowering the people of Kashmir.              

According to Kashmir Media Service, Omar Abdullah said in a statement is Srinagar that the commission’s proposal to increase the number of assembly seats in Jammu division by six and in Kashmir division by just one ignored the overwhelming criteria of population.

He said that by increasing the seats in this proportion, they are actually disenfranchising people in Kashmir because the ratio of seat-to-population changes drastically.

Omar Abdullah said the concerted plan of the Modi government since 2018 has been to disempower the people in Kashmir and the proposals of the Delimitation Commission is just another step in that direction.
