Speak up for restoring rights of people than for “power or any political party”, says MP Aga Ruhullah

ANANTNAG, JULY 15 (STC): “Statehood is the BJP’s agenda. The constitutional guarantees and protections that were available under Article 370 are the agenda of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” said National Conference’s (NC) Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi here today while drawing a distinction between the demand for restoration of statehood and the restoration of constitutional protections that existed under Article 370.
He also said individuals from different walks of life should speak up for the rights of the people rather than for “power or any political party”.
“If people have the courage to raise their voice for the rights of the people, they can contribute significantly to society,” he said.
He said he has consistently raised the demand for restoration of constitutional safeguards and protection of the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir “from Parliament to the streets”.
Talking to reporters in Anantnag, Ruhullah said his stand on the issue has remained unchanged since the Assembly and Lok Sabha election campaigns.
“From Parliament to the ground, from Kashmir to Delhi, I have consistently raised the same demand. I have said the same thing before the government in Delhi and before the people in Kashmir,” he said.
