JAMMU: Five persons to be nominated by the Lieutenant Governor as members of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly may play a crucial role in the formation of the next government in the union territory, sources said on Monday.
-
The Congress, National Conference and the PDP have opposed the nomination of the five members before government formation, and threatened to move the Supreme Court.
In August 2019, the Article 370 - which gave J&K special status was revoked and the state was divided into two union territories.
According to the Section 15 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, "Notwithstanding anything in sub-section (3) of Section 14, the Lieutenant Governor of the successor Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir may nominate two members to the Legislative Assembly to give representation to women, if in his opinion, women are not adequately represented in the Legislative Assembly".
