Srinagar, Oct 8 (UNI) Several former members of banned Jamaat-e-Islami, who contested polls for the first time in three decades, failed to make a significant impact in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.
Banned Jamaat had fielded eight former members and was also supporting a few independent candidates in Kashmir.
Sayar Ahmed Reshi, a former Jamaat member and ex-director of Academics at the Falah-e-Aam Trust, contested from the Kulgam seat and finished as the runner-up, securing 25,000 votes. He lost to veteran politician and CPI(M) leader M.Y. Tarigami, who won the Kulgam Assembly seat for the fifth consecutive time, with over 33,000 votes.
