Srinagar, Sept 15: In a significant political development, the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) have formed a strategic alliance to champion the cause of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The joint meeting, held today, saw the AIP delegation led by AIP Chief and Member of Parliament Er Rashid.
A statement issued by AIP reads that the meeting focused on the current political situation in Jammu and Kashmir, with both sides emphasising the need to work together in the larger interest of the region’s population. Following comprehensive deliberations, it was agreed that AIP would support JEI-backed candidates in Kulgam and Pulwama. Similarly, JEI will back AIP candidates across Kashmir.
In areas where both AIP and JEI have fielded candidates, the alliance has agreed to a “friendly contest,” particularly in constituencies like Langate, Devsar, and Zainapora. In other constituencies, mutual support will be extended to ensure a unified approach to the elections.
“Both parties underscored the importance of unity in resolving the Kashmir issue and promoting lasting and dignified peace in the region. They highlighted the rapidly evolving political landscape, both regionally and internationally, and stressed that neither JEI nor AIP can afford to remain passive observers,” it reads.
