The Awami Ittehaad Party (AIP) has formally approached the Patiala House Court in New Delhi, seeking permission for its incarcerated president and Member of Parliament, Engineer Rashid, to participate in the upcoming Lok Sabha session scheduled to begin on July 21.
In a statement to Kashmir News Observer (KNO), AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi confirmed that the application was submitted today by Advocate Vikhyat Oberoi, who is representing Engineer Rashid in legal matters. The plea has been listed for hearing on July 15.
“Engineer Rashid is the elected representative of Baramulla. Preventing him from attending Parliament not only silences his voice but also robs his constituents of representation. Attending Parliament is not a favour—it’s his constitutional right and duty,” Inam Un Nabi said.
He added that the party remains hopeful that the judiciary will honour the principles of democracy and allow the MP to fulfill his responsibilities in the House.
