Early Times Report

Jammu, Sept 11: Within minutes after his release from Delhi’s Tihar Jail, Lok Sabha member from Baramulla Sheikh Abdul Rashid, popularly known as Er Rashid engaged in a war of words with the BJP.
BJP also hit back at Er. Rashid condemns his (Rashid’s) “provocative” statement after his release from jail.
“I solemnly pledge to stand by my people and fight against Prime Minister Modi’s failed narrative of ‘Naya Kashmir’. The decisions made on August 5, 2019, have been rejected by the people of J&K, and I am committed to working tirelessly for their welfare. I will not be intimidated or deterred from my mission.
My fight is not for personal gain or power, unlike some others who are focused on reclaiming their chair. My struggle is for the rights and dignity of my people. As a victim of the BJP’s oppressive policies, I vow to resist PM Modi’s ideology with every fiber of my being, until my last breath”, Er Rashid stated after coming out of the Tihar jail. Amid allegations by the National Conference and the PDP that Er Rashid is a proxy of BJP, senior party leader and election in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir, Ram Madhav, condemned Er Rashid’s recent remarks following his release on interim bail from Tihar Jail. Rashid, who had been imprisoned for nearly five years under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged anti-India activities, was granted bail for election campaigning purposes.
In a statement on X, Madhav accused Rashid of attempting to destabilise Valley politics. “This rank separatist, who has been in jail for the past five years for anti-India activities, is now out on bail to further disrupt Valley politics,” Madhav said. “Look at his rhetoric anti-Modi statements, calls to restore Article 370, and demands for the release of terrorists from jails.”
Madhav drew parallels between Rashid’s remarks and that of other politicians, including Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, and members of the National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peoples Conference (PC), whom he collectively referred to as the “Gupkar Gang.” “He aims to undermine Modi’s vision of Naya Kashmir. We accept this challenge. The march towards Naya Kashmir will continue unrelenting,” Madhav asserted.
