Srinagar MP Ruhullah Mehdi to announce resignation on November 3

Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, the Lok Sabha member representing Srinagar, has announced a public event scheduled for November 3 in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The program, titled “Resignation Announcement,” is set to take place at Behisht-e-Zehra Park near the Deputy Commissioner’s Office.

Mehdi, a dissident leader within the National Conference (NC), has indicated he intends to resign from both the NC and his seat in Parliament. He has accused the party leadership of undermining his political efforts and failing to uphold the electoral commitments and principles outlined in the party’s manifesto.

The announcement follows a period of growing tension between Mehdi and the NC. He notably declined to campaign for the party during the recent Budgam Assembly by-election. While there is speculation regarding a potential move to the Congress party, no official confirmation has been provided regarding his future political affiliation.
