Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said that no demographic change would be made by special summary revision of voters.
“Anyone living in Jammu and Kashmir for two, three, or four years has the right to vote here. If leaders from Jammu and Kashmir can contest elections from outside JK, why can’t those living here vote here,” BJP General Secretary (Organization), Ashok Koul said while talking to reporters as per the news agency Kashmir News Observer.
He said that the Chief Election Officer has not made any wrong statement and that what he said is the law. “Anyone who will be granted permission to vote here in JK has to remove his name from the previous place,” he said.
He further said that there were no motives for demographic change behind the revision of the voter list.
