Senior NC leader Aga Ruhullah announced his resignation and indicated plans to form a separate political outfit in Jammu and Kashmir.
Aga Ruhullah, a veteran leader of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, publicly tendered his resignation from the party, as reported by Daily Excelsior. The announcement marks a rare departure from the party’s senior ranks and comes ahead of the next electoral cycle in the region.
Ruhullah, who has served in various capacities within the NC, did not elaborate on specific grievances but hinted that internal dynamics and strategic disagreements prompted his decision. Political analysts note that his exit could reflect broader discontent among senior cadres over the party’s recent positioning on key issues.
In the same statement, Ruhullah suggested he is contemplating the launch of a new political outfit dedicated to the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. While no timeline or formal structure was disclosed, the prospect of a splinter group could reshape the state’s political landscape, prompting reactions from both the NC leadership and rival parties.
The NC has yet to issue an official response, and observers are awaiting further clarification on whether Ruhullah’s hinted venture will materialise before the upcoming elections.
