Inam Un Nabi shared that Engineer Rashid is expected to arrive in Srinagar on Thursday morning. He will remain available in Srinagar from Friday afternoon onwards to receive people who wish to offer condolences and express solidarity with the bereaved family.
The AIP chief spokesperson stated that the occasion carries emotional significance for Engineer Rashid, since the Lok Sabha member was unable to remain with his family owing to his prolonged incarceration.
Engineer Rashid is presently lodged in the Tihar Jail in the national capital as an accused in a terror-related money laundering case.
