Jammu has a very large number of Hindus who came from Pakistan in 1947 and were not citizens of J&K. These hindus are living in Border areas and are our first line of defence in Jammu region. They now number over ten lakh. Similarly, Maharaja of J&K had brought in lot of Gorkha soldiers from Nepal for employment alongwith Dogra troops who were assured citizenship of J&K. But after 1947, Sheikh Abdulla and Nehru colluded to deny citizenship to these Hindus and Gorkhas. If you grant them citizenship, Hindus+Gorkhas will become majority in J&K and muslims wiill be down to about 48% of the population. Plus the delimitation will ensure that nearly 65% of all seats are given to Jammu+Ladakh regions due to area and population.
NC & PDP have always been part of either govts in center and have effectively blocked the delimitation exercise. Atal Charpayi had support of PDP/NC in 1999 and denied the delimitation under their pressure.
