- Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Big Claim On Non-local Voters In J&K; Avows ‘Outsiders Shouldn’t…’
JAMMU, Oct 12: Amid the intensifying controversy regarding Jammu and Kashmir’s voting list, former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on October 12 in a big statement said that outsiders should not be allowed to cast their vote in the union territory. The chief of the newly announced Democratic Azad Party opined in response to the buzz created after the Jammu administration on October 11 issued an order authorising tehsildars or revenue officials, to issue a certificate of residence to people residing in the winter capital “for more than one year”.
Azad’s statement on non-locals being allowed to cast their vote in Jammu and Kashmir is being termed important as this is believed to have a major implication on the upcoming and much-awaited polls in the union territory. Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 5, during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir also hinted at the possible timeline for holding elections in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
