Abdullah had lost the elections to <a href=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/in-jail-on-uapa-charges-engineer-rashid-to-contest-from-baramulla-on-awami-ittehad-party-ticket\/\">Engineer Rashid<\/a>.\u201cRashid\u2019s victory, without doubt, will empower secessionists and give Kashmir\u2019s defeated Islamist movement a renewed sense of hope,\u201d Omar Abdullah said in a post on X.<br \/>\n\u201cEfforts to draw secessionism back into electoral politics led New Delhi to support the rise of the People\u2019s Democratic Party and its alliance with the BJP. That, however, ended up empowering violent secessionists, not mainstreaming them\u2013a warning of the unpredictable outcomes of trying to manipulate politics,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nOmar Abdullah\u2019s comments drew sharp criticism from PDP\u2019s Waheed Para who accused Abdullah of not acknowledging the people\u2019s mandate.<br \/>\nExtremely disappointed with<a href=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/omar-abdullah-trails-in-baramulla-independent-candidate-abdul-rashid-leading\/\"> Omar Abdullah<\/a>\u2019s regressive stance, echoing the divisive politics of 1987, and dubbing a democratic expression as an \u2018Islamist wave\u2019. His family\u2019s history with the Muslim Conference clashes with calls for the exclusion of PDP, Er Rashid, and JEI, and will put Kashmir into perpetual conflict with the state. A more prudent approach, akin to Mehbooba Mufti\u2019s plea for Engineer Rashid\u2019s release, would have been an acknowledgement of the mandate.<br \/>\nIn the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Rashid Sheikh, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, ran as an independent candidate for the Baramulla seat and defeated Omar Abdullah. He secured victory with a margin of 204142 votes and received 47,2481 votes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18035\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18035\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18035\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-300x252.png\" alt=\"\u201cEngineer Rashid\u2019s Victory Will Empower Secessionists In J&amp;K\u201d: Omar Abdullah\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-1024x860.png 1024w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-768x645.png 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-549x461.png 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-333x280.png 333w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-217x182.png 217w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-182x153.png 182w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-284x239.png 284w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-89x75.png 89w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM-360x303.png 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-06-at-11.40.51-AM.png 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cEngineer Rashid\u2019s Victory Will Empower Secessionists In J&amp;K\u201d: Omar Abdullah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, June 6 : Jammu Kashmir National Conference leader and losing candidate from Baramulla in the Lok Sabha polls has said that the victory of Abdul Rashid Sheikh, who is currently in jail on terror funding charges, will empower secessionists and give Kashmir\u2019s \u201cdefeated\u201d Islamist movement a renewed sense of hope.
