Over 83,000 non-state subjects received J&K domicile: State Govt
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir has recently disclosed that over 83,000 non-state subjects have received domicile certificates in the last two years. This information was shared by the Jammu and Kashmir Revenue Department in a written reply to PDP’s Waheed ur Rehman Para. The revelation has raised concerns about the impact of the domicile law on the state’s demography.
The Jammu and Kashmir Revenue Department stated that a total of 35,12,184 domicile certificates were issued through the department in the last two years. This means that over 83,000 non-state subjects have been granted domicile certificates, which is a significant number considering the state’s population.
The domicile law was introduced by the Jammu and Kashmir administration in 2019, which allows non-state subjects to apply for domicile certificates if they have been residing in the state for at least 15 years. The law was introduced to grant citizenship rights to non-state subjects, including those who have been living in the state for several years.
The Jammu and Kashmir Revenue Department has been issuing domicile certificates to non-state subjects since the law was introduced. The department has been issuing the certificates based on the applications received from non-state subjects, who have been living in the state for at least 15 years.
The issuance of domicile certificates to non-state subjects has been a contentious issue in the state. The opposition parties have been criticizing the government for allowing non-state subjects to become domicile of the state, citing concerns about the impact on the state’s demography.
The opposition parties have been arguing that the issuance of domicile certificates to non-state subjects will alter the state’s demography and lead to a decline in the number of Kashmiri Pandits and other indigenous communities. They have also been criticizing the government for not taking adequate measures to protect the rights of the indigenous communities.
On the other hand, the government has been defending the issuance of domicile certificates to non-state subjects, citing the need to bring about economic development and growth in the state. The government has been arguing that the issuance of domicile certificates will help to bring about investment and growth in the state, which will benefit all sections of the society.
