Aga Ruhullah resigns from NC, hints at launching new political outfit in J-K
Ruhullah accused NC leaders of abandoning promises on Article 370 and said he will launch a movement for Jammu and Kashmir’s dignity.
- On Tuesday, Srinagar Lok Sabha member Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi announced his resignation from the National Conference and his parliamentary seat during a public gathering in Budgam, accusing party leadership of abandoning promises regarding Article 370.
- The 48-year-old leader cited the party's failure to pursue ideological goals, particularly Article 370 restoration, as his primary motivation. Mehdi symbolized his break by handing his resignation letter to Mohammad Ashraf Mattoo for party president Farooq Abdullah.
- Declaring a "decree of freedom" from the party, Mehdi criticized Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as "incompetent." He intends to launch a movement for "honest and compassionate" youth rather than join an existing political outfit.
- National Conference figures downplayed the resignation as an individual decision, though it occurs amid wider dissent, with 25 legislators recently issuing a 14-day ultimatum regarding cabinet appointments and governance.
- Mehdi's parliamentary resignation awaits formal acceptance by Speaker Om Birla, with the Srinagar seat set to fall vacant. Political observers note the long-term impact depends on his ability to mobilize support for his grassroots movement.
