SRINAGAR: The Awami Ittihad Party (AIP), led by jailed Member of Parliament Engineer Abdul Rashid Sheikh, released its party manifesto in Srinagar on Saturday, pledging the unconditional release of all individuals imprisoned across India.
The document reads that if the party is voted to power, no innocent youth would remain in jail and promised to work towards revoking laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA) and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The manifesto also includes a complete ban on liquor sales and free medical tests in hospitals across Jammu and Kashmir.
Additionally, the party promised to restore schemes and the autonomy of the University of Kashmir (KU). It also vowed to provide free computers to students who have passed the 8th standard.
The manifesto further pledged to safeguard Kashmiri students and traders working and studying in different parts of India.
While addressing the press, the party also promised to reinstate the decades-old Darbar Move practice, which was stopped by the Lieutenant Governor-led administration in Jammu and Kashmir a few years ago. —(KNO)
