The National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Monday demanded Rashid’s release, emphasizing that the incarcerated MP-elect must be allowed to represent the people of North Kashmir in Parliament.
He expressed, “I congratulate all the MPs who took oath today, including the representative elected by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This is a significant moment for our democracy. It’s crucial that Engineer Rashid, elected by the people of North Kashmir, is allowed to take oath and serve his constituency.”
Omar emphasized, “It’s equally important to recognize the injustice faced by those currently in jail, preventing their participation in elections. We strongly advocate for justice for all prisoners, including our MP Engineer Rashid. Additionally, we demand that these prisoners held in jails outside Jammu Kashmir be promptly transferred back to Kashmir jails until their release.”
Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti has also echoed the call for Engineer Rashid’s release.
