After Sarjan Barkati, the brother of late Mohammed Afzal Guru has announced that he will contest the assembly polls in Jammu Kashmir.
Named Aijaz Ahmed Guru, he will contest the assembly polls from north Kashmir.
Jammu Kashmir is preparing for its first assembly elections in a decade, with voting scheduled to take place in three phases from September 18 to October 1, 2024.
Ajaz Ahmad Guru is the brother of Mohammad Afzal Guru, who was executed in 2013 for his involvement in the 2001 Parliament attack.
This development marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Jammu Kashmir, as former militants and separatists seek to re-enter society through the democratic process.
