ANC support NC on delimitation process

SRINAGAR, May 29: The Awami National Conference (ANC) president Khalida Shah has supported the contention of the National Conference in rejecting and not participating in the delimitation of J&K Legidlative Assembly constituencies set in motion by the central government.
In statement here today, Khalida Shah said that the delimitation exercise initiated by the Election Commission of India with nominal representation from the political parties amounts to playing farce with the people of J&K when there is complete lockdown since August 5, 2019 and after that total shutdown in the Coronavirus crisis.
She suggested that such an exercise should have been undertaken under normal circumstances. She supported the decision of the NC to boycott the delimitation exercise until full statehood to J&K is restored and all fundamental rights of the state subjects of J&K are restored under Article 35A of Indian Constitution.
