Srinagar, Sep 6: The Peoples Conference on Friday released a fourth list of seven more candidates for the third and last phase of Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir, fielding Party President Sajad Lone from two constituencies of Handwara and Kupwara.

As per the list Sajad Lone will contest from Handwara and Kupwara; Imran Reza Ansari from Pattan; advocate Bashir Ahmad Dar from Trehgam; Irfan Pandithpori from Langate; Dr Nasir Awan from Karnah and Mudasir Akbar Shah from Lolab.

In the recently held Lok Sabha polls he lost elections to jailed Independent candidate Abdul Rashid Sheikh aka Engineer Rashid.
The PC on Thursday released the party's manifesto pledging to fight for the Kashmir resolution, restoration of Article 370 and statehood while also promising a judicial commission to probe the alleged rigging of 1987 Assembly election.
