A five-member delegation of the National Conference (NC) will meet the Delimitation Commission, arriving on a four-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, a party leader said. The party has nominated Abdul Raheem Rather, Mohammad Shafi Uri, Mian Altaf Ahmad, Nasir Aslam Wani and Sakina Tattoo to meet the commission at a hotel here, he said.

They will represent the party and put forward their viewpoints and suggestions before the commission, he added. The commission has allotted 20 minutes to each party to discuss the delimitation process in Jammu and Kashmir, the leader said. The NC has been given a time slot of 5.10 pm to 5.30 pm, he added.

However, Mehbooba Mufti’s PDP will skip the meeting with the delimitation commission in Jammu & Kashmir. Mehbooba’s stand comes a day after the Gupkar Alliance expressed “disappointment” with the meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, saying the Centre had failed to act on Confidence Building Measures such as the release of political prisoners and “taking concrete steps to end the siege & atmosphere of suppression that has choked J&K since 2019”. The PDP has sent a letter to the Delimitation Commission, saying the party will stay away from proceedings.
