“His family members will be seeing Er Rashid for the first time in person after five long years. So it is indeed a big relief,” said Inam. He said allowing Er Rashid to campaign will give a big push to AIP and the candidates in fray from north, south and Central Kashmir.

Inam said bail was actually a victory of the people of north Kashmir who voted in large numbers for Er Rashid in Lok Sabha polls. “They deserve the credit,” he said. Er Rashid’s son, Abrar Rashid expressed his happiness amid sobs. “I am short of votes. Today, people of north Kashmir have come to know the power of vote,” he said, adding that “I am eager to see my father. Want to hug him.”
