Er Rashid to observe hunger strike today against ‘denial’ of constitutional rights to J&K’s people

Srinagar, Nov 27: Jailed Member of Parliament Baramulla Er Rashid has written a letter to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, announcing a one-day symbolic hunger strike on November 28 inside Tihar Jail to protest the “bulldozing of constitutional rights of the people of Jammu & Kashmir.”

Chief Spokesperson Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Inam Un Nabi on Thursday informed that the letter written by Er Rashid “delivers a direct constitutional, moral and political indictment of the current situation in J&K.”

Before celebrating Constitution Day, Er Rashid urges the ruling dispensation to answer “how can the majority in Parliament be used to bulldoze and dilute the preamble of the Constitution.”

Er Rashid then further expresses concern about the direction in which the country is being pushed, it said.
