SRINAGAR, May 16: The Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), led by Ghulam Nabi Azad, has announced its support for Engineer Rashid from the North Kashmir Lok Sabha seat.
Addressing media-persons here today, Treasurer and Incharge North Kashmir, Taj Mohiuddin, stated, “Engineer Rashid is innocent, and people want him out of jail. He has always fought for the people’s cause, so this is injustice.”
He further mentioned that after his son Abrar Rashid’s appeal to their Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad, they have decided to extend their support to Engineer Rashid and appealed to voters to vote for the pressure cooker symbol to ensure his victory.
Chief spokesperson Salman Nizami emphasized, “Engineer Rashid has consistently fought for the people. Therefore, we feel it’s important to stand by someone who has made sacrifices.” He also highlighted Ghulam Nabi Azad’s stance on Article 370, stating, “On Article 370, it was only Ghulam Nabi Azad, who spoke about it, while other MPs of both NC and PDP remained silent.”
