Former separatist leader Sajjad Gani Lone has challenged derecognition of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) as a state political party by the Election Commission by filing a writ petition in the J-K High Court.
Sajjad, who is the younger son of late Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Lone and currently heads a faction of the JKPC, has also challenged the EC's decision to de-reserve the party's election symbol “lion”.
The EC had de-recognised the JKPC as a state political party and de-reserved its lion symbol by passing an order on July 30, 1997.

“In the present proceedings, the petitioner calls in question the decision of the Election Commission to de-recognise the JKPC as a political party and de-reserve its symbol ‘lion’, which is clearly in contravention of law and in violation of rules of natural justice,” Sajjad Lone has submitted in the petition filed in the High Court through his counsel G A Lone.
The writ petition is likely to be listed before a single bench of the High Court this week. The JKPC was founded by Sajjad’s father and former Hurriyat Conference leader Abdul Gani Lone, who was assassinated by unidentified gunmen on May 21 in 2002 in Srinagar.
Before the eruption of militancy in the state in 1989, the JKPC was one of the main political parties in J-K and had participated in many elections, including 1987 Assembly elections, which are said to be the genesis of militancy in Kashmir.
In 1987 elections, the JKPC was part of the Muslim United Front (MUF), which had then emerged as the main opposition political force in J&K.
But after 1989, the JKPC became part of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and supported secession of Kashmir from the Union of India. Abdul Gani Lone was one of the influential separatist leaders of the APHC, which had boycotted both parliamentary and Assembly elections till 2009.
