Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday dropped a major hint that he could resign from his Lok Sabha seat.
How can it happen that Farooq Abdullah asks for something and I won’t oblige him,” Ruhullah said. People have given huge sacrifices for the party. “NC president Farooq Abdullah is a very senior leader and I respect him a lot. For the past one week, NC leaders have been daring Ruhullah to resign from the NC and seek a fresh mandate. Though some leaders within the NC tried to iron out differences between Ruhullah and the CM, the efforts have failed and Ruhullah has been constantly targeting Omar during his public rallies.
Aga Ruhullah should resign from the party and his seat and contest elections again,” Abdullah said. In response to Farooq Abdullah’s remarks, Ruhullah told reporters that very shortly they would get to know something important. It is not clear whether the Srinagar MP will resign, however, leaders close to Ruhullah said various options are on the table.
On Monday, NC president Farooq Abdullah said the Srinagar MP had been elected on an NC ticket and should resign and see how many people stand with him. “Many people have left the NC in the past, today they stand nowhere, while the NC is still there.
