Authorities should ensure Er Rashid’s condition doesn’t deteriorate: Tarigami

Srinagar, Feb 08: Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami on Saturday said that authorities should ensure Er Rashid’s health does not deteriorate after he was reportedly shifted to a hospital following his hunger strike.
In a statement, Tarigami said that Er Rashid is a public representative, representing a parliamentary constituency, and his case should be handled fairly and given a just trial.
“Until the court reaches a conclusion on his bail plea, we urge the authorities to ensure he receives proper medical care. We are deeply concerned about his health after being shifted to the hospital,” the CPI(M) leader said.
He added that a fair trial, bail consideration, and other legal rights are entitlements of every undertrial.
Tarigami leader also reiterated that every jailed individual deserves to be heard and that justice should not be delayed. “According to their families, the health of other Kashmiri detainees has also been deteriorating. They too deserve a fair trial and urged the authorities to ensure proper care for their health,” he said.
