Raja Basharat advocate contested elections in 2010 for Kashmir Assembly as a candidate of Kashmir Labour Party, along with Nisar Shah who contested elections from a different constituency. He was an active member of Labour Party Pakistan. Raja Basharat was an active participant of lawyers movement as well.
