The Badruddin Ajmal-led All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has moved the Supreme Court of India against the delimitation process in Assam.
AIUDF Files Plea In Supreme Court Against Delimitation Exercise
The AIUDF has filed a plea in the Supreme Court against the delimitation exercise being conducted in Assam. The delimitation exercise is being conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
The plea was filed in the Supreme Court by AIUDF MLA Suzam Uddin Laskar, who is the vice-president of the party’s central committee. Besides the AIUDF, several other opposition parties have also raised objection to the delimitation exercise in the state.
Earlier, speaking on the ECI’s role in the delimitation process, Assam Congress MP and Deputy Leader of the party in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi said, “ECI has become just another tool in the BJP’s power grabbing machinery.”
“We want to ask the ECI as to how and on the basis of what guidelines have they undergone and undertaken this delimitation process,” he added.
The other parties to have raised objection to the delimitation exercise are: Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), Raijor Dal, Jatiya Dal, and state units of the TMC, NCP, CPI, CPI-M, CPI-ML, RJD and JD-U.
