"NIA Directed to Clarify Custody Parole for Parliament Attendance".
New Delhi: The interim bail plea of jailed Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) President and Member of Parliament, Engineer Rashid, was heard today, with detailed arguments presented before the court. The matter has now been listed for further proceedings tomorrow, where a decision is expected.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been directed to provide clear instructions on whether Er Rashid can be granted custody parole to attend the ongoing Parliament session. The development comes amid growing demands for his presence in the House, given his elected mandate.
The AIP’s chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the court proceedings, signaling that the party remains hopeful about a favorable outcome. Rashid, who secured a historic victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections from Jammu and Kashmir while in custody, remains at the center of a significant legal and political battle.
His incarceration has sparked debates on the rights of elected representatives and the legal complexities surrounding his case. With the court set to take up the matter again tomorrow, all eyes remain on the judiciary’s decision and the NIA’s stance on the custody parole request.
