Jammu, Oct 17: Senior Congress leader Dr Karan Singh on Monday demanded early assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir and said that he was glad to see the world famous Dal Lake cleaned for the first time.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the AICC presidential voting at party’s Srinagar headquarters, Singh, said that democracy cannot be ensured without the elections in Jammu and Kashmir, so all parties here have been demanding immediate conduct of the polls.
He said that things have been started like delimitation exercise has been completed while other formalities are also being done.
“We have been hearing that the elections will be conducted in March next year, but there is no official confirmation yet. Congress and other parties have been demanding early polls and they should be held at an earliest,” he said.
About the inclusion of non-local voters in J&K, he said that there is confusion over it and the things are not clear, so he cannot comment anything on the issue.
