While withdrawing its call to boycott the upcoming elections to four seats of the Legislative Council (LC) from the panchayat quota, the All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference (AJKPC) today made it clear that it would not support any particular group or individual.
It also said that nothing short of incorporation of the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution in the state Panchayati Raj Act in letter and spirit would be acceptable to them.
“We have decided to withdraw our boycott call for the upcoming LC election but we want to clarify that the AJKPC will not support any particular group or individual. The panches and sarpanches can vote as per their own conscience,” AJKPC chairman Shafiq Mir said while addressing a daylong convention of Panchayat members here.
He disclosed that panchayat members had passed a resolution for extension of the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution to the Panchayati Raj Act in the state in letter and spirit.
Apart from this, the resolution also included the demand for implementation of the 74th Amendment (which empowers other local bodies) to the Indian Constitution in the state. The AJKPC also demanded release of honorarium promised to panches and sarpanches as per the J&K Panchayati Raj Act, 1989.
During the convention, the sarpanches of various parts of the state shared their views on the upcoming MLC elections and empowerment of panchayats in the state. They held all political parties equally responsible for “not empowering” the panchayati institutions in the state.
They said all political parties were “playing with their sentiments”.
Earlier, AJKPC general secretary Anil Sharma said that they were not part of any political party as all political parties had played a dubious role regarding empowerment of panchayats in the state.
He said empowered panchayats could bring a sense of unity among all three regions of the state.
