On day of NC’s crucial CWC session, estranged MP Aga Ruhullah heads to Ganderbal

Ganderbal, Nov 27: On the day when the National Conference is holding its Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting in Srinagar, its estranged Srinagar MP, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, is visiting Ganderbal to meet farmers.

The MP is expected to interact with farmers today afternoon at Bunpora, Tulmulla, in the Ganderbal assembly segment, which is represented by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

He is also expected to visit the family of a Kangan youth who died in the Red Fort blast in New Delhi.

Ruhullah has been at odds with the National Conference over a gamut of issues including rationalization of reservation.

The office of the MP said that he has neither been invited nor is he aware of any such meeting.

The session is expected to discuss, among other matters, the party’s defeat in the Budgam by-poll.
