Srinagar, Oct 15 (NVI): Rumour mills have been rife about National Conference MP Syed Aga Ruhulla planning to quit the party which rubbished these as “fake”.
The rumours surfaced after Ruhulla, Member from Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, publicly expressed disagreement with the views of NC Vice President and CM-designate Omar Abdullah on the issue of Article 370.
Omar Abdullah, who made Article 370 a main plank during the recent Assembly elections, said after winning the polls that it would be “foolish” to ask the present central government to restore the special status.
Social media is abuzz that Ruhulla is unhappy as he feels the party is dragging feet on Article 370.
As the speculation gained ground, NC said “some vested interests are out to defame the party as they aren’t able to digest the huge mandate given to the party.”
“Rumours are circulating that Aga Ruhullah (MP) has resigned from the party. This is completely fake news and baseless. For God’s sake, please refrain from spreading lies. Let’s not stop to this level,” NC responded to the rumours.
National Conference spokesman Imran Nabi Dar said, “This is totally a baseless news.”
“There is nothing in this. Social media is a platform where some people want to play hidden politics by trying to defame NC,” he said.
It may be recalled that NC MP Ruhullah was the star campaigner for the party in the just concluded polls and it is believed that the stand taken by the MP that “if NC drags its feet from the stand on Article 370 after winning polls or coming to power, he would be first to quit the party.” (News Vibes of India)
