If there is no consistency, then there will be theatrics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do not try to fool people by sitting somewhere for a day. Make a roadmap. Reach out to the whole of Kashmir. Create a movement,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Citing the example of Ladakh, Mehdi said Kashmir&#8217;s political leadership should learn how to fight unitedly for rights.<\/p>\n<p>He further said that if sincerity existed, all political parties should suspend their separate identities and unite on a single platform to pursue the restoration of rights taken away in 2019. \u201cIf everyone is sincere, all political parties should suspend their political identities and come together on a single platform. A democratic and peaceful movement should continue until the constitutional rights are restored,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ruhullah also said he would be willing to resign from the Indian parliament if a common movement platform was formed. \u201cI will be the first one to resign from Parliament. Representatives should be chosen from a common movement platform rather than party platforms until our rights are restored,\u201d he said. &#8220;If parties are serious, they should keep electoral politics aside and focus entirely on the movement. People will only trust such efforts if they see sincerity and consistency,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the National Conference on Wednesday announced it will hold a protest in New Delhi on the first day of Indian parliament&#8217;s Monsoon Session, pressing for restoration of IIOJK\u2019s statehood and constitutional guarantees. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at Dachigam National Park in Srinagar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar : In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, National Conference senior leader and Indian parliament member from Srinagar, Agha Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, has called for a united struggle for the restoration of the territory\u2019s statehood and constitutional guarantees, stressing that it must be based on &#8220;consistency and credibility&#8221;, not &#8220;theatrics or optics&#8221; According to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":183312,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-202404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indian-occupied-jammu-and-kashmir"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/assests\/2025\/09\/NC-Aga-Ruhullah-1024x671-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":202405,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202404\/revisions\/202405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
