Reservation issue: Ruhullah warns of joining students’ protest if govt fails to engage by Dec 27

Srinagar, Dec 25: National Conference leader and Member of Parliament Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Thursday said he has neither forgotten nor abandoned the students agitating over their unresolved issues, and urged the government to immediately engage with them.

Ruhullah said the government must initiate dialogue with the students and clearly apprise them of the measures and decisions taken to resolve the matter. He said if government fails to engage with students by Saturday (December 27, 2025), he will sit with them on coming Sunday (December 28, 2025) at the same venue he joined protest on December 23, 2024.

Taking to micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter), Ruhullah said: “I have neither forgotten nor left the students alone. I urge the government once again to talk to the students and uprise them of the measures and decisions taken to resolve this issue”.

“If that does not happen till Saturday, I will not leave our youth and students helpless. I will walk with them and sit with them on this coming Sunday at the same place as we did the last year on 23rd December to make them heard,” Ruhullah added on X.
