Sajad Lone, 57, president of the Jammu Kashmir Peoples Conference (JKPC), was nominated on Monday as the party’s candidate for the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat in north Kashmir.
“For the Baramulla Parliamentary seat, the leadership and the rank and file of the party has overwhelmingly endorsed the candidature of Mr. Lone. The party leadership wishes him the best and believes that the fiercest speeches on the floor of the Parliament, advocating the just cause of our people, will finally be delivered by Mr. Lone after a painful wait of seven decades,” JKPC General Secretary Imran Reza Ansari said.
The party has not named any candidates for the four other constituencies of the Union Territory of J&K. “We will take a call about other seats based on our limited resources and also how best to defeat the common enemy of the people of J&K,” Mr. Ansari said.
