JAMMU, Dec 16: Exuding confidence that Centre will end 75-year-long political injustice with the Jammu region, Team Jammu today hoped that Delimitation Commission constituted by the Union Government to redraw Assembly and Lok Sabha Constituencies will remove the prevailing disparity between two regions of the Union Territory (UT).
“People of Jammu region have high hopes on Delimitation Commission and we are hopeful that political injustice with this region will be removed”, Chairman of Team Jammu, Zorawar Singh Jamwal said while interacting with media persons.
Accompanied by young DDC Member of Panchari-Moungri in Udhampur district, Jasvir Singh, Team Jammu chief said, “As per criteria set by the panel, Jammu deserves more assembly seats as compared to Kashmir Valley due to topography and demography of this region.” He regretted that previous delimitation panels, constituted from time to time, were biased against Jammu as successive state governments were not interested to treat Jammu at par with Kashmir Valley.
Zorawar Singh Jamwal further demanded that new assembly constituencies should be carved out in all deserving areas of Jammu region. He especially mentioned that the Panchari-Moungri belt, which always remained neglected, full-fills all criteria and deserves to be an Assembly segment.
Pointing towards the recent assurance of Union Home Minister, Amit Shah during his visit to J&K, Zorawar Singh Jamwal said that Home Minister had promised to end discrimination with the Jammu region. “We are hoping that the incumbent regime will fulfill its promise to treat Jammu with the same yardsticks it is treating other regions”, he said and cautioned that people of the Jammu region will not tolerate further political discrimination after the abrogation of Article 370.
Speaking on the occasion, Jasvir Singh demanded introduction of a new youth policy and a new recruitment policy to fill up vacancies quickly.
