New Delhi: President of Awami Ittehad Party in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and a member of the Indian Parliament Engineer Rashid continued his hunger strike for the tenth day today.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Er Rashid, detained in New Delhi’s notorious Tihara Jail, has been on a hunger strike to protest his continued illegal detention and to keep himself away from the Parliament session.<\/p>\n

His health deteriorated on Friday during the hunger strike, after which he was admitted to a hospital in New Delhi. He has been in prison under the black law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) since 2019.<\/p>\n

In a statement in Srinagar, AIP’s central spokesperson Inam-un-Nabi expressed deep concern over the deteriorating health of the party chief and said that he is continuing his hunger strike in Ram Manohar Lohia hospital.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the AIP during a meeting in Jammu urged the Indian judiciary to ensure justice and provision of all basic facilities to Er Rashid.<\/p>\n

The meeting expressed grave concern over the deteriorating health of the party chief and said subjecting an elected MP to injustice is a serious violation of democratic principles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
