Anantnag, Feb 13: After Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea challenging the Centre’s decision to constitute the Delimitation Commission for redrawing the Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said she has been rejecting the Delimitation Commission from the beginning.
“We have been rejecting the Delimitation Commission from the beginning, we do not care whatever decision is there, we were never a part of the discussion. The act of reorganization, Article 370 is already pending in the Supreme Court, then how can we expect them to give a verdict on Delimitation Commission for redrawing the assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies in the Union Territory,” the PDP chief told reporters here.

In a reference to the Chief Justice of India, Mufti said, “CJI Chandrachud himself has said that our lower courts themselves feel scared to give bail. So if courts are afraid to announce bail, how can we expect them to give verdicts.”
