SRINAGAR, Dec 24: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz has stressed for a strong and democratic movement on the issue of Delimitation in J&K.
“I have weighed the pros and cons of mainstream Kashmir taking the matter regarding Delimitation Commission’s latest recommendations, allotting six seats to Jammu and only one seat to Kashmir, to the Supreme Court,” Prof Soz in a statement here said.
He said the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission could be enough to convince the Judiciary to accept the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission, straightaway. Then, the Court’s advice to the people of Kashmir could be to rest content with the tecommendations of the Commission.
“It would certainly be a losing proposition for the mainstream to agitate this matter in a court of law. But, then, the J&K mainstream political class has a compulsion to agitate this matter before the judiciary, also. But, then, the public opinion on this issue is the best course available to these parties. The Political Class should agitate this matter before the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It is essentially a Political issue and it should be agitated before the ‘Awami Adalat’. A powerful, democratic, peaceful and sustained public movement is the answer,” Soz pleaded.
