“Let a son bury his father”: AIP demands immediate release of MP Er Rashid after father’s demise

Inam Un Nabi made an emotional appeal to the Government of India and concerned authorities to immediately facilitate the release of Jailed MP Er Rashid so that a son is able to participate in the last rites and funeral prayers of his father. He said no pain can be greater than a son being deprived of bidding a final farewell to his own father.

He said irrespective of political differences, humanitarian considerations must prevail in such moments of personal tragedy and grief. “A father has departed from this world and his son remains behind bars. This is a deeply painful moment for the entire family and all those who know them,” Inam Un Nabi said.

The AIP Chief Spokesperson said the passing away of Haji Sahib has created a huge void not only within the bereaved family but also among well-wishers, students and admirers across Jammu and Kashmir. He said the entire party leadership and cadre stand in solidarity with Er Rashid and the family in this hour of grief and sorrow.
