Srinagar, April 26 -- A day after a Delhi court rejected the interim bail plea of Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid, the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) pins hopes on the April 27 hearing.

The AIP has applied for Er Rashid's bail on humanitarian grounds as the MP's father Khazir Mohammad is battling for his life at the SMHS Hospital, Srinagar.

The party on Saturday convened an emergency meeting of its executive council immediately after the dismissal of Er Rashid's interim bail plea.

The meeting was attended by AIP general secretaries Nazir Ahmad Khan and Prince Parveez, chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi, state secretary Sheikh Ashiq, spokesperson Firdouse Baba and senior leaders Advocate Javeed Hubbi, Parveez Ahmad Bhat and Nazir Ahmad Mir.
