JAMMU, Nov 17: National Panthers Party today rejected the use of EVM and demanded polling through single ballet paper both in Valley and Jammu regions.
Addressing a press conference, Prof Bhim Singh, Chief Patron, National Panthers Party (NPP) said that the Government is interested to hold this election by the use of EVMs, which can easily be manipulated.
Prof Singh accused Coalition Government for playing fraud with the innocent people and the Panchayat. He said splitting of a single election in Jammu into to as J-1 and J-2 and Kashmir as K-1 and K-2 has violated the fundamental jurisprudence of free and fair polls.
He said that this neo doctrine to create dual constituency in Panchayats has terribly shaken the faith of the democrats on the sincerity of the Congress and NC.
He informed that all the four candidates who filled their nominations papers for Legislative Council from Panchayat quota have been cleared by the Returning Officer of Srinagar and Jammu.
Prof Singh added that each Panchayat member will have two votes to elect two members each from Kashmir and Jammu Divisions.
Panthers Party candidates are Anita Kumari Thakur (Rajouri), Mohd Rafiq Chandel (sarpanch) from Udhampur, Maqbool Malik (Baramulla) and Dr Mohd Iqbal Wani (Anantnag), he added.
Balwant Singh Mankotia MLA and President NPP has been appointed as incharge of the election campaign for the council elections, Prof Singh added.
