Member of Parliament Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Thursday denied reports that he is forming a new political party, saying he had no knowledge of any such move.
Speaking to reporters, MP Ruhullah said he was unaware of any party being formed in his name. “Tell me as well which party carries my name. I also don’t know who is forming it. If there is one, I will also submit an application,” he said.
The remarks came amid speculation over possible political realignments in Jammu and Kashmir.
On the reservation issue, he said the government response is awaited and he has been informed that the file had been sent to the Lieutenant Governor’s office.
He said the government should clarify when the file would be brought back and what concrete steps would be taken. “The government should not stop at merely acknowledging the matter. It must clearly state when the file will return,” he said—(KNO)
