Jailed Member of Parliament (MP) Engineer Rashid, who heads the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), on Tuesday (January 27, 2026), expressed deep concern over the alleged harassment and summoning of Kashmiri journalists working with national dailies in Kashmir.
In a handwritten letter to the President of the Editors Guild of India, Mr. Rashid said, “Undoubtedly, journalists have to be careful about reporting and need to keep in mind the security concerns. However, in J&K, especially in the Kashmir Valley, in the name of security concerns and national interest, the fourth pillar of democracy is being undermined and humiliated.”
