A Delhi court Saturday permitted Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid to visit Parliament in custody on Sept 9 to cast his vote in the vice-president's election, scheduled on Sept 9.
Rashid, who has been lodged in Tihar since 2019 after NIA arrested him under UAPA in a terror-funding case, was previously granted parole between July 24 and Aug 4 to attend the Parliament's monsoon session.
Special NIA judge Chander Jit Singh granted the permission after NIA stated that it had no objection. The court, however, instructed Rashid not to interact with anyone in Parliament, except within the premises of Lok Sabha and only concerning his duties as an MP.
