Ruhullah says his disagreement with party leadership stemmed from mandate sought from public in 2024 elections
Srinagar: National Conference (NC) Member of Indian Parliament Agha Syed Ruhullah has said that his disagreement with the party leadership stemmed from the mandate sought from the public in the 2024 elections.
According to Kashmir Media Service was speaking to reporters during his visit to Tulmulla in Ganderbal, where he held an interaction with locals to discuss administrative issues.
He said, “We promised to fight for the return of protections taken through Article 370. We cannot use the language of the BJP after taking votes in that name.”
Asked about the CWC meeting, Ruhullah said he had no direct information about it. “If the working committee meeting is going on, I have been a permanent member since 2002. This is the first time I have not been invited,” he said.
He said that he was not invited to the party’s Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting in Srinagar, marking what he described as the first such instance since 2002.
Ruhullah said that he had come on the invitation of residents to understand the concerns that needed to be taken up with authorities.
Responding to reports circulating on social media about his formation of a new party, Ruhullah denied keeping a distance from the NC to float a separate political outfit.
On the bulldozer action in Ganderbal, Ruhullah questioned the absence of local representatives. “We voted for representatives to protect, defend and speak for the people. If there were encroachments, the law could have taken its course. But why were elected representatives not on the front?” he asked.
