Srinagar, July 7: The members of the Delimitation Commission today interacted with political leaders of various parties at Pahalgam in Anantnag district.
The members from National Conference, Congress and other parties stressed on holding the delimitation exercise in a free and fair manner while BJP demanded reservation for SC and ST categories and one more Assembly seat for Anantnag district.
The delimitation panel reached Pahalgam Club to meet leaders from various political parties this morning.
From the National Conference, former legislator Altaf Ahmed Kaloo led the party delegation and interacted with the members of the Delimitation Commission.
Speaking to reporters, Kaloo said that the party supported the view point already presented before the Commission by senior leaders in Srinagar. “We also presented the memorandum and urged the Commission that it would have been better if J&K would have been granted full Statehood before delimitation. Nonetheless, we urged the panel to conduct a delimitation exercise in a free and fair manner without any injustice to any district or area,” he said.
