Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Waheed ur Rehman Parra, contesting from the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat, on Thursday reached out to families that have relatives in jails and pledged to fight for a “jail-free and cases-free” Kashmir.
“I understand the plight of the incarcerated youth in Kashmir. There is a need to make their pain heard at the national level,” Mr. Parra said while canvassing in once militant-dominated pockets of Pulwama and Budgam.
Mr. Parra faced jail for 19 months under Sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, and was released on bail by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court in 2022.
