The statement of PAGD holds significance as it comes a day before the Delimitation Commission would interact with District Election Officers (DEOs) of all 20 districts of the Union territory and leaders of political parties.

Sources said J&K’s Chief Electoral Officer has invited political parties, including NC, PDP, Apni Party, Peoples Conference, Congress, Awami National Conference (ANC), CPI(M), BJP and National Panthers Party (NPP) to interact with the Commission.

The PAGD last week cancelled its meeting at the residence of Dr Abdullah on Monday citing some personal engagement of Ms Mehbooba Mufti, vice-chairperson of PAGD.

It would be the Commission’s first visit to J&K after it was formed in March last year to carve out more Assembly and Parliamentary constituencies in the Union Territory after the scrapping of Article 370 besides bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two UTs.
The visit of the commission to J&K comes about two weeks after 14 political leaders from J&K participated in an All Party Meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narandra Modi last month in New Delhi.

Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said that the Assembly elections will be held soon after the Delimitation process is completed in J&K. However, the PAGD leaders are demanding that the delimitation process should be followed by restoration of statehood and then only Assembly election should be held.

Currently, J&K has 83 Assembly seats – 47 in Kashmir and 36 in Jammu. Once the delimitation process is completed, the Assembly seals will increase to 90.
