Srinagar, Jan 02 (NVI): National Conference (NC) leader and Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi today said that the core struggle for Jammu and Kashmir should center around the restoration of Article 370, rejecting statehood as an insufficient remedy.
Taking to social media platform X, Ruhullah reiterated his position, stating, “Since 2019, my stance has been clear. Our fight must be for the restoration of Article 370, which symbolizes the dignity and autonomy of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
He also expressed his willingness to lead a protest in Delhi to draw attention to the issue. “I am ready to participate in such a protest and will work to secure the support of over 100 MPs. January, the month marking the adoption of India’s Constitution, would be an ideal time for this demonstration,” Ruhullah said.
The NC leader criticized the abrogation of Article 370, calling it a deliberate act of humiliation designed to erode the identity and autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir. “The abrogation was a political statement aimed at undermining our sacrifices and dictating our future. Settling for statehood alone would mean compromising our rightful status,” he added.
Reaffirming his commitment to the cause, Ruhullah urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to stand united in the fight for their rights. “This is about preserving our honor, identity, and autonomy. We must remain steadfast in our struggle,” he said(News Vibes of India)
