Addressing a hurriedly called press conference here Er Rasheed said “While watching television last night he was shocked to find a television channel, claiming to be number one, accusing that Er Rasheed has raised huge properties.

Er Rasheed revealed details of his income from all sources including that got through the salary of his family and of his own. He said that in addition to this income he and his brother have raised bank loan to the tune of almost sixty lakh rupees.

He seconded the allegations of resistance leadership that the NIA was being used as a tool against those Kashmiri leaders who refuse to succumb to the pressure and continue to pursue the goal of right to self-determination”.
He further said that Kashmiri people have very easily understood how New Delhi is hell bent upon framing, humiliating and torturing their leadership just to stop it from the demand of plebiscite for which Kashmiri nation has been sacrificing for decades now.
Er Rasheed announced that his party as mark of protest towards biased Indian TV channels will boycott their shows for a period of one month and further course of action will be taken after that.
