NC betrayed Kashmir's fight for Article 370: Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi

Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has publicly criticized the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, alleging the party has betrayed the cause of restoring Article 370. Mehdi's remarks mark a significant rift with the JKNC, signalling a breakdown in ties between the longtime associate and the regional party.

Mehdi has confirmed he will formally resign from the party on November 3, 2026. His departure underscores growing tensions within Kashmir's political landscape over how aggressively parties should pursue the restoration of the region's special constitutional status following its revocation in August 2019.
