Srinagar, May 26: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concerns over the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) delay in announcing by-elections for vacant assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir, even as the ECI has moved forward with by-election schedules in several other states.
PDP Chief Spokesperson Dr Mehboob Beg, in a statement issued here, called need for timely democratic processes in the Union Territory, highlighting the prolonged delay as a matter of serious concern for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
He criticised the ECI’s apparent inaction, saying, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir have been patiently awaiting the restoration of their democratic rights. While the Election Commission has promptly announced by-elections in states like Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Punjab, the silence on Jammu and Kashmir raises troubling questions. This delay undermines the democratic aspirations of our people and risks further alienating them from the electoral process.”
The ECI recently announced by-elections for several vacant assembly seats across multiple states, with polling dates set for June 2025. However, no such announcement has been made for Jammu and Kashmir, where several constituencies remain vacant following resignations and other developments. “This discrepancy reflects a lack of priority for the Union Territory’s democratic processes,” the PDP leader said.
Dr Beg further elaborated, “Jammu and Kashmir has already endured a prolonged period without a fully functional elected government. The delay in holding by-elections for vacant seats only deepens the political vacuum and erodes public trust in institutions. The ECI must act swiftly to ensure that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not deprived of their right to representation.”
The PDP spokesperson also called for transparency from the ECI regarding the reasons behind the delay. “If there are logistical or security concerns, the Election Commission must communicate these clearly to the public. Keeping the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the dark is unacceptable. We urge the ECI to treat Jammu and Kashmir with the same urgency and importance as other states,” he added.
