Shah Faesal welcomed the Javaid Mir as entrant to his newly launched party and said that the party with Mir’s joining will get further strengthened on the grass roots level.
He said that they didn’t contest the parliamentary elections as the party was launched recently. However, he said that they are ready to contest Assembly polls even if it will be announced tomorrow.
Shah and Mir were accompanied by many of JKPM leaders including student leader-turned-politician Shaila Rasheed, Chasfeeda Shah and others.
