SRINAGAR, Aug 20 : Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari has thanked the prime minister and home minister for issuing clarification that only youth passing 18-yr age are being enrolled in the new voting list and not the “non-Locals”.
The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday dismissed the row over the likely addition of 2.5 million names to the J&K electoral roll, terming it a “misrepresentation of facts spread by vested interests”.

“There have been media reports that more than 25 lakh additions will be there in the electoral rolls…This is a misrepresentation of facts, which is being spread by the vested interests,” it said
