Srinagar :The Vice President J&K National Conference Omar Abdullah Tuesday raised concerns about the preferential treatment being given to Er. Rashid, asking why are the fate of other jailed individuals being left hanging in the balance while he receives special treatment?
Addressing a series of election rallies across Budgam Omar accompanied by MP Central Kashmir Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi questioned why Er Rashid is being released on bail while others convicted under similar laws are not receiving the same treatment. He asserted that Rashid’s release was solely to manipulate and divide the voices of Kashmiris. “Why only Engineer Rashid? Why is he receiving special treatment? What about Yasin Malik, Shabir Shah who are also imprisoned under the same law?” he said. He emphasized that Rashid’s release is a strategic move to sway votes and aid the BJP in gaining control of the assembly, further solidifying the decisions made on August 5, 2019.”
