Political career

During this term in the opposition, Mir was known in the Assembly for having a bold voice and as an honest personality.[7]

After winning the elections, he was inducted into the PDP-BJP cabinet led by then Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and in 2015, became Minister for Revenue, a position that he maintained until January 2016 when the Chief Minister passed away and the government collapsed.
