Engineer Rashid, an Independent legislator from Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday said that he will withdraw all the cases against those who threw ink at him here on Monday.
"I am withdrawing the cases against the two of them as I believe that they are misguided by some fringe elements," Rashid told IANS here in an interview.

A little known Hindu outfit smeared Rashid with ink at Press Club of India here on Monday.
