Engineer Rashid Counters PM Modi’s ‘Naya Kashmir’ Vision On Release From Jail, BJP Says Challenge Accepted

Sheikh Abdul Rashid, also known as Engineer Rashid, was released on interim bail from Tihar Jail after being in custody since 2019 for alleged anti-India activities. He plans to campaign in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, aiming to fight for his people and bring peace to the region. Rashid’s release has stirred controversy, with BJP leader Ram Madhav comparing him to other Kashmiri leaders. The elections are scheduled in three phases, with results to be declared on October 8. Rashid’s Awami Ittehad Party is contesting, and his return has sparked political debates in the region.
