Kashmir MP Er Rashid hunger strike continues in jail: AIP
The hunger strike launched by jailed head of Awami Awami Itehad Party (AIP) and MP Er Rashid continued for the third consecutive day today in support of his demand that he be allowed to take part in Parliament proceedings, a press release said.
Awami Itehad Party also launched a campaign from Sopore for the immediate release Er Rashid. Senior AIP leaders, including MLA Langate Sheikh Khursheed, Vice President Adv G N Shaheen, Parveez Ahmad Bhat, DDC Member Muzaffar Ahmad Dar, District President Abdul Qayoom, Ajaz Ahmad Lone, Syed Uzair, Block President Zaingeer Syed Ilyas and organizer Tariq Wani, participated in the event.
Speaking on the occasion, Shaheen emphasised the urgency of Er Rashid’s release, stating that his voice is essential for addressing the issues of the people. He highlighted MP’s consistent efforts to raise the concerns of the common masses in and outside the Parliament, making him a beacon of hope for the voiceless.
MLA Langate Sheikh Khursheed strongly criticised the National Conference (NC) for deviating from its own manifesto and betraying the trust of the people.
“NC has a long history of betrayals. Even in these harsh winters, people have been abandoned. Sopore is not only suffering from drinking water scarcity but also facing unscheduled power cuts, while NC MLAs remain invisible,” he said.
The AIP leaders vowed to continue Er Rashid’s mission by reaching every corner of the state, raising public grievances and becoming the voice of the marginalised sections of society.
