In a shocking incident during an election campaign in Jammu & Kashmir, a former aide of Engineer Rashid allegedly vandalized his vehicle, causing significant damage. The aide reportedly stomped on the bonnet of the car and shattered its windshield, disrupting the campaign event and causing chaos.
The incident took place while Engineer Rashid, a well-known politician in the region, was campaigning in a local constituency. According to witnesses, the former aide, whose relationship with Rashid had reportedly soured over recent political differences, attacked the vehicle in a fit of rage. The incident quickly escalated, drawing attention from onlookers and Rashid's supporters.
Engineer Rashid's team condemned the act, describing it as politically motivated and an attempt to intimidate their candidate ahead of the upcoming polls. In a statement, Rashid’s campaign spokesperson called for swift action against the perpetrator, urging local authorities to investigate the matter and ensure the safety of political candidates during the election season.
The vandalism has sparked tensions in the area, with Rashid’s supporters viewing the attack as a deliberate effort to disrupt his campaign. Local police have been informed, and an inquiry into the incident is underway. While no official arrest has been made yet, authorities are working to identify and apprehend the accused.
This incident adds to the growing political unrest in Jammu & Kashmir as the election campaign heats up. Engineer Rashid, a prominent figure in the region’s political landscape, has been an outspoken advocate for various local issues. His supporters argue that this attack is part of a larger pattern of attempts to undermine his campaign.
The damage to Rashid’s vehicle, though significant, has not deterred him from continuing his political activities. His team has vowed to press on with the campaign, undeterred by the violence. However, the incident has raised concerns about security for political candidates as the elections approach.
