The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has consented to independent MP Engineer Rashid to take his oath in Parliament on July 5. This permission comes with certain conditions, one of which is that Rashid must not interact with the media.
Rashid had requested interim bail or custody parole to facilitate his appearance in Parliament for the oath-taking ceremony. The matter is now in the hands of the Patiala House Court, which is set to pass an order on this request on July 2. The court’s decision will determine whether Rashid can attend the parliamentary session as planned. (Agencies)
