“The Jammu and Kashmir Delimitation Commission has already courted controversy by not inviting representatives of political parties to appear before it. Instead, it has invited individuals as per a list, the author of which is yet to be known,” Soz said.
He added that it is not yet known as to why it (the Commission) has not invited political parties, who could highlight public demands in a responsible manner.
“The Commission has not taken adequate notice of the fact that it has a very serious business of public interest on hand and it should deal with the subject, rather seriously, “he said.
