A party spokesperson told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that they remain optimistic about a fair outcome.

“We are hopeful that justice will prevail. We have full faith in the constitution and the judiciary. Er. Rashid is innocent and was subjected to political victimization in 2019,” the spokesperson said.
