The Awami Itihad Party (AIP) said on Friday that members of Parliament from its chairman and disorganized member Bermula Engineer Abdul Rashid Sheikh (ER Rashid) will bring a proposal in the upcoming Parliament session starting from July 21, 2025, demanding the restoration of the full state to Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement issued here, AIP chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said, “Despite going to jail unjustly, Er Rashid has not allowed chains of chains to silence his people’s voice. He will continue to use every democratic platform available to maintain the aspirations and feelings of Jammu and Kashmir.”
Inam said that demand for the state is not a favor, but there is a constitutional right that was unilaterally removed in 2019. “This is the time that Parliament corrects this historical wrong.
The party reiterated that the presence of ER Rashid in Parliament is not only symbolic, but there is a continuation of their decades and struggle for justice and representation. “His decision to move this resolution, even from behind bars, shows that neither walls nor injustice can suppress the democratic spirit that he incarnation,” Inam said.
AIP urged all political parties, especially claiming to represent Jammu and Kashmir, supporting resolution and standing for constitutional guarantee and standing for the restoration of democratic institutions in the region (KNO)
