\"\"New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to state its position on granting conditional bail to Baramulla MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh alias Engineer Rashid in a fake funding case.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the court inquired whether Rashid could be released on bail subject to stringent conditions, including restricting his movement to Delhi.<\/p>\n

A bench hearing the matter directed that statements of two protected witnesses be recorded before the trial court prior to the next hearing, which has been scheduled for November 03.<\/p>\n

The NIA opposed the bail plea citing the “seriousness” of the allegations and said charges had already been framed in the case.<\/p>\n

The matter pertains to NIA\u2019s prosecution of Rashid under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the alleged case.<\/p>\n

Legal experts and political observers in Srinagar view the continued incarceration and prosecution of Rashid as part of a pattern of targeting Kashmiri political representatives with a dissenting voice.<\/p>\n

They said Rashid was being singled out because of his Kashmiri background and for being vocal on the political rights of Kashmiris, including the right to self-determination recognized under UN resolutions. They added that such cases are aimed at silencing Kashmiri politicians who speak on the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
