Candidates turn prison past into campaign currency for Lok Sabha polls in Kashmir

Hindustan Times  

Prison past, and an ongoing sentence in one case, has become the poll plank of two prominent candidates in the Valley, where 60 candidates are in fray for three Lok Sabha seats. PDP candidate from Kashmir’s Baramulla Lok Sabha seat Waheed-ur-Rehman Peoples Democratic Party youth leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra, who contested from the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat, and jailed legislator Engineer Rashid, vying from Baramulla, have centred their campaigns around their own jail terms as well as incarceration of other youths in the region. While Engineer Rashid is still lodged in Tihar jail under Unlawful Activities Act charges, Waheed-ur-Rehman Para spent three years in various jails before being released last year. Our voters see us as part of them because we don’t create barriers,” he added Para also raised developmental issues, electricity woes, the need to bolster horticulture and address environmental issues during his campaign trail.
