President Droupadi Murmu nominated Gulam Ali, a Gurjar Muslim from Jammu and Kashmir, to the Rajya Sabha on the advice of the Central government.

A notification by Union Home Ministry said the President is happy to nominate Gulam Ali to the Council of States to fill the vacancy due to the retirement of one of the nominated members.

Ghulam Ali is a resident of Bathindi in Jammu. He is associated with the BJP since past 24 years and is in the party’s SC/ST Cell and is also a spokesperson.
