JAMMU, Oct 3; Congress has strongly objected to the move of the ruling BJP to get five of its leaders nominated to the Legislative Assembly, from LG prior to the process of Govt formation in J&K and termed any such move as undemocratic and against the mandate of people and asked the LG to desist from any such move.
Reacting strongly to the media reports in this regards JKPCC has termed any such move as undemocratic, an attempt to defeat the mandate of the people. JKPCC senior vice president and chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma has said that the power to nominate five members to the Legislative Assembly should lie with the new Govt, otherwise, it would be an attempt to defeat mandate of people. Although Congress – NC will get comfortable majority to form the Govt but any such exercise would be contrary to the democratic norms and would be another betrayal with the mandate of the people, he added.
“The people have cast their vote to elect their representatives to form the govt whosoever gets majority, in the elections should be given chance to form the Govt,” Sharma said.
The Congress party had favoured reservations in Assembly for PoJK refugees, KPs and other minorities through elections in order to give representation to them but it would be misuse of the provision of nomination, if it is used to defeat the mandate of people by the BJP, JKPCC chief spokesperson added.
