Srinagar, Dec 21 (NVI) National Conference leader and Member of Parliament Aga Ruhullah has announced a peaceful protest on December 22 outside the chief minister’s official residence on Gupkar Road, demanding fairness and rationality in Jammu and Kashmir’s reservation policy.
In a statement on X, Ruhullah stated that he had given the government until December 22 to address public grievances regarding the policy. With no resolution in sight, he has reaffirmed his commitment to stand alongside the people at 2 PM to demand accountability.
“The deadline ends tonight, and tomorrow, I will join the people in a peaceful and dignified manner to seek answers from the government,” he stated, urging participants to maintain civility and focus on genuine demands.
The reservation policy, introduced by the Lieutenant Governor-led administration before the assembly elections, increased quotas for reserved categories to 60% while reducing the general category to 40%. This has drawn widespread criticism, with many labeling it discriminatory against the general population.
Ruhullah also called out political opportunists, urging them to move beyond rhetoric and demonstrate sincerity by joining the cause. The protest is seen as a significant step in amplifying growing dissatisfaction over the policy in Jammu and Kashmir. (News Vibes of India)
