New Delhi, Jan 03 : Student leader and National Convenor of J&K Students Association, Nasir Khuehami, called on AICC Minority Department Chairman and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Imran Pratapghari on Tuesday at his residence in New Delhi. Khuehami apprised him of many issues that Kashmiri migrant workers, shawl sellers, and dry fruit vendors are facing in the Lucknow region of Uttar Pradesh.
Pratapghari assured Khuehami to raise these issues in the house, expressing his full support. The Rajya Sabha MP informed Khuehami that he would take up the matter and draw the attention of those who are at the helm of affairs in Uttar Pradesh. He expressed hope that they would be addressed on merit and assured that he would put their demands before the Uttar Pradesh government for an early and fruitful solution.
