Farooq Abdullah holds all party meet amid row over inclusion of non local voters
The National Conference held an all-party meeting in Srinagar on Monday to discuss the issue of the "inclusion of non-local voters" in the revised electoral rolls in Jammu and Kashmir. Parties like the NC, PDP , JDU & Awami National Conference claimed the administration has not addressed their main concern on whether ''outsiders'' ordinarily residing in J-K will be allowed to enrol as voters and the meeting will discuss the clarification issued by the administration on the matter.
NC president Farooq Abdullah had called the meeting to discuss the issue of the "inclusion of non-local voters" in the electoral rolls in Jammu and Kashmir after remarks related to the addition of voters in the revised rolls by the UT's Chief Electoral Officer Hirdesh Kumar raised hackles of the regional parties.
