Indian Express·3h ago·Neutral
What Happened
During Parliament's Constitution Amendment Bill debate, Opposition parties cited delimitation exercises in Assam and Jammu and Kashmir to oppose the legislation. A 2020 delimitation commission, headed by retired Supreme Court Judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, redrew J&K's parliamentary and Assembly boundaries after Article 370's abrogation in 2019. Most opposition parties opposed the exercise except BJP.
