Sarjan Barkati's nomination rejected for J-K Polls: Know about jailed separatist and Burhan Wani's sympathiser

India TV News  

During the scrutiny of nomination papers for the first phase of Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, the papers of 35 candidates, including jailed separatist Sarjan Barkati, were rejected on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Peoples Democratic Party's chief Mehbooba Mufti has reacted to the cancellation of Barkati's nomination, asking the Election Commissioner to make the reasons public for this decision. Sarjan Ahmad Wagay, widely known as Sarjan Barkati and recognised as a key figure in the 2016 protests in Kashmir, had entered the political arena by filing his nomination papers for the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. Sarjan Barkati gained prominence following the 2016 killing of Burhan Wani, a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander, which sparked widespread protests across Kashmir lasting over three months.
