Leaked Audio: Delimitation report scripted by ruling BJP, says JKPCC

JAMMU — President JKPCC Shri Ghulam Ahmed Mir has said that the leaked audio conversation between BJP President Ravinder Raina and former minister Shakti Parihar has vindicated the stand of the Congress party that the ruling government scripted the delimitation report as claimed the audio leak, which is against the autonomy of the constitutional & autonomous independent institutions of the country and cast aspersions of its independent working.

Launching a scathing attack on the ruling BJP following the leakage of the audio conversation between BJP President and his party colleague regarding the delimitation report wherein the former is heard disclosing that he is attaching a particular area with his constituency for the benefit of the later, JKPCC chief said that this shows how the ruling party and this government interfered in the working of the autonomy of independent institutions in the country, repeatedly charged by the Congress and entire opposition parties.

PCC chief G. A. Mir flanked by PCC Working President Raman Bhalla, Vice President Haji Abdul Rashid, General Secretaries Yogesh Sawhney, Th. Manmohan Singh, Treasurer Rajnish Sharma and others while addressing a press conference said that majority of people of different constituencies are perturbed by the illogical and unjustified delimitation report and have been protesting over such report. “Now the cat is out of the bag as to who are real culprits behind such illogical and politically motivated delimitation of Assembly constituencies and bifurcation of areas.”

He said that this proves that the government interfered in the autonomy of various constitutional independent and democratic institutions, violating all norms.

Mir said that PCC leadership is reaching out to various districts and areas to know the gross violation of norms as well as highly objectionable and division of the different Assembly constituencies with an eye for the political gain, ignoring the ground realities and the convenience of the people as well as converting the political nature of the different constituencies against norms and convenience as is being reported.

He said that the party demands the Delimitation Commission to review and redraw its report before putting it in the public domain while taking into account various parameters, physical features and public convenience as well as the means of communication otherwise there is already a lot of hue and cry.

He said that the Congress party stands shoulder to shoulder with the public of different areas where injustice is sought to be done.

He said the Congress party will not sit silent if due norms and parameters are not taken into consideration as is being observed and exposed in the audio conversation.
