Srinagar, Nov 3 (KNS) : Politician Salman Nizami on Tuesday extended his support to Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi following his decision to part ways with the National Conference, saying political power and positions should never come at the cost of personal dignity and self-respect.
‎
‎Reacting to Ruhullah's announcement, Nizami said resigning from a political organisation was never an easy decision, particularly for someone who had contributed significantly to the party.
‎
‎“Resigning is never easy. I can understand the pain and emotions behind Agha Rahullah Sahib’s decision, especially after contributing so much to the party,” Nizami wrote in a post on X.
‎
‎He said political positions and ambitions should not take precedence over an individual's principles and self-respect.
‎
‎“No position, no power and no political ambition is worth compromising your self-respect,” he said.
‎
‎Nizami maintained that leaving an organisation when one's contribution was not acknowledged or one's voice was not respected should not be viewed as a sign of weakness.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

‎“When your contribution is not valued and your voice is not respected, walking away becomes an act of dignity, not weakness,” he said.
‎
‎Acknowledging the challenges associated with political life, Nizami said individuals must remain committed to their convictions irrespective of changes in their political circumstances.
‎
‎“Politics has its ups and downs, but self-respect must always come first,” he added.
‎
‎He also extended his best wishes to Ruhullah, expressing hope that he would continue working for the welfare of the people while remaining committed to his political principles.
‎
‎“My best wishes to him. May he rise stronger, stand tall on his convictions and continue to fight for the betterment of the people,” Nizami said.(KNS)
