#Er #Rashids ist welcome video, after being released from Tihar Jail after 4 years.

President of Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) and Member Parliament, Baramulla, Er. Rashid on Wednesday walked out of Tihar jail, a day after he was granted an interim bail by a Delhi court for campaigning in J&K polls.

After walking out of Tihar jail where he remained incarcerated for more than five years, Rashid said that he will fight against the Prime Minister Narendera Modi’s narrative of Naya Kashmir and the peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue till his last breath.

“Let me tell you that PM Modi’s narrative of Naya Kashmir has miserably failed. That has been proved by the people of my constituency on June 4. The vote for me was actually a referendum against Modi’s narrative of Naya Kashmir that has failed,” he said.

Rashid said that he will fight against PM Modi’s narrative of Naya Kashmir and for the peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue till my last breath.

To a question about National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah, Er Rashid said Omar was fighting for the chair. “My fight is for my people. My fight is much bigger than what Omar Abdullah is fighting for. There is a difference between spending five years in London and spending the time in Tihar jail where prisoners are craving for medical attention,” he said.

In the recent LS polls, Rashid defeated Omar Abdullah by over two lakh votes.

The North Kashmir MP said that he will work for uniting people and not to divide them. “If that’s a crime, I am proud to commit this crime again and again. If I will have to spend my entire life in Tihar for this crime, I am ready,” he said. “I won’t exploit my people. Let youth study, businessmen do business, leave politics to us,” he said.

Later, addressing a news conference, Rashid said that he has nothing to do with politics or separatist politics till 2008. “I was a gazetted officer working as assistant engineer in the Jammu & Kashmir Projects Construction Company (JKPCC),” he said—(KNO)
