Adv Dawood Bhat joins AIP

Srinagar, Aug 24: Advocate Dawood Bhat, former PDP Lolab Constituency President, has officially joined Awami Itihaad Party (AIP),

This development comes at a crucial time as AIP continues to expand its influence across Jammu and Kashmir, positioning itself as a formidable alternative to traditional parties, a press release said.

Meanwhile, Peerzada Firdouse Ahmad Baba, a  leader of AIP, lashed out at the NC for its disregard for the rights of Kashmiri prisoners, accusing the party of stripping away basic rights, including the right to communicate with family members. "Talking to family members is a basic right of prisoners as per the Tihar Jail manual, but NC has shown its true colors by wanting to strip even this right from Kashmiri prisoners,”he said.

“This right for Er Rashid has already been stripped," Baba asserted. He further accused the NC of being responsible for much of the suffering and destruction in Kashmir. "The NC has a long history of betrayal and broken promises. They are responsible for the misery of our people, yet they shamelessly seek votes once again. The people have rejected them and embraced AIP as the only genuine alternative," Baba emphasised.
