Srinagar, January 02 (STC): Aga Syed Ruhulla Mehdi, National Conference (NC) leader and Member Parliament from Srinagar, in a statement on the social media platform X has said “the fight for Jammu & Kashmir must center on the restoration of Article 370 rather than settling for statehood, which is a hollow promise.”
In the statement, Ruhulla has reiterated his commitment to the cause, saying, “After 2019, my stance has been clear. Our fight must focus on reclaiming Article 370 and the dignity it symbolizes for the people of Jammu & Kashmir.”
Ruhulla has expressed his readiness to join a protest in Delhi with significant support. “I am prepared to participate and will strive to gather support from at least 100 MPs. Let those advocating statehood take the lead in organizing such a demonstration. January, the month when India’s Constitution was adopted, would be the ideal time,” he said.
“The abrogation was a political statement aimed at erasing our sacrifices and dictating our future. Settling for mere statehood would mean surrendering our honor and identity,” he asserted.
Reaffirming his commitment to the restoration of J&K’s special status, Ruhulla called for unity and persistence in the struggle. “Our voices must first rise for our honor, identity, and autonomy. The tree remembers,” he said.(STC)
