The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has granted permission for independent MP Engineer Rashid to take oath in Parliament on July 5, subject to specific conditions. This decision follows Rashid’s request for interim bail or custody parole to fulfill his parliamentary duties.
NIA’s consent includes a stipulation barring Rashid from engaging with the media. The Patiala House Court is set to issue an order on July 2 regarding this matter.
Engineer Rashid, who won as an independent candidate from Jammu and Kashmir, has been navigating legal challenges since his election. His participation in parliamentary proceedings hinges on the court’s decision tomorrow.
The development underscores ongoing legal complexities surrounding Rashid’s oath-taking ceremony and his status as an elected representative from a sensitive region.
