Srinagar, May 10 (KNS) : National Conference leader and Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, of having “raised his voice only against the Kashmiri people” since taking over as CM in 2024.
The remarks came in response to CM Omar Abdullah’s recent “cloudburst” comment, which has sparked political ripples in the Valley. Asked about the Chief Minister’s statement in an interview with Kashmir News Service (KNS), MP Ruhullah said, “I don’t know. CM Omar must be aware of it himself.”
When asked whether his "big announcement" could signal a political realignment, MP Mehdi refused to comment further, repeating "You will see it. I will see it."
During a wide-ranging conversation with KNS Editor-in-Chief Mohd Aslam Bhat, MP Ruhullah also touched upon several other key issues in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, including the National Conference's recent party meeting, the reservation policy, the jolt to the NC in the Budgam elections, the political shifting sands in J&K, and his own disappointments with the National Conference.
