The National Conference (NC) on Thursday termed the inclusion of outside voters in Jammu & Kashmir electoral rolls as “clear-cut de-franchising” of people of the erstwhile state, saying no outsiders should be allowed to vote just because they come here temporarily.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti accused the BJP of converting J&K into a “laboratory for its experiments”. She said the move to allow outsiders residing ordinarily--for jobs, education or business--in J&K as voters was “aimed at finishing off the democracy” here.
