Srinagar: The National Conference (NC) has launched reconciliation efforts with its senior leader, Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, a Lok Sabha member from Srinagar, in a bid to address his concerns over key issues, including the restoration of Article 370, reservation rules, and statehood for Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehdi had led a protest outside Omar Abdullah’s residence, expressing discontent over the lack of action on the matters. Following this, Mehdi maintained a conspicuous silence, abstaining from several official functions.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the potential political fallout, senior NC leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chowdhary and Chief Minister’s Advisor Nasir Aslam Wani, held a closed-door meeting with Mehdi. The meeting aimed to ensure Mehdi’s support for the upcoming Budgam by-election.<\/p>\n

The Budgam constituency became vacant after Omar Abdullah relinquished his claim to the seat. Party insiders suggest that NC is considering fielding Nasir Aslam Wani for the by-election. Mehdi’s backing is seen as crucial for a strong and unified campaign.<\/p>\n

A senior party leader said, “The meeting with Agha Ruhullah Mehdi is part of a reconciliation process. The party is committed to addressing his concerns and ensuring that he remains aligned with the broader goals of the National Conference”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
