Srinagar, January 01, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the National Conference (NC), has submitted its response to the draft proposals of the Delimitation Commission, calling for the exercise to be put on hold in view of the legal challenge to the India’s August 5, 2019 decisions.
The response of the three NC MPs to the commission’s proposals has been submitted, NC MP Hasnain Masoodi said. He said the party’s basic premise is that the exercise “offends constitutional morality, constitutional propriety, and the constitutional values” as much as the Reorganisation Act under which it is being brought.
“The Act itself faces challenge before the Supreme Court of India. It is under judicial scrutiny. The Supreme Court is examining whether it is constitutional. We call it constitutionally suspect law,” he said. “In a democratic polity, every limb, out of deference, has to wait for the outcome of the judicial proceedings in such a case,” he added.
