Afzal Guru’s brother to contest elections

Srinagar, Sep 10: Afzal Guru’s brother, Ajaz Ahmad Guru, has said that he will be contesting elections as an independent candidate from north Kashmir’s Sopore seat.

Afzal Guru was hanged in 2013 after being convicted in the 2001 Parliament attack. Ajaz told media that he will not seek votes in Afzal's name.

“I believe that the people of Kashmir were betrayed by every political leader, some in the name of autonomy, self rule, and some in the name of ‘Azadi’. Everybody betrayed the people of Kashmir,” he said.
