Srinagar: National Conference Member Parliament (MP) Aga Ruhullah Mehdi will hold a sit-on dharna on Monday outside the residence of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah against the reservation policy.
He has also invited everyone affected and everyone else in support of the affected.
MP Srinagar announced the protest plan on X.
“Today marks the date I had committed to stand with those whose voices demand rationality in the reservation policy”, Mehdi posted on X on Sunday.
“In my response to a post on X by a concerned citizen, I urged everyone to wait until 22nd December to give the elected government time to address this issue”, he stated and said “I also said that if the matter was not resolved by then, I would join you in protest outside the HCM’s residence or office”.
“…*22nd December ends tonight*”, Mehdi remarked and said, “Over the past month, I’ve observed a range of reactions to the formation of the sub-committee”.
“To those who believe that the issue remains unaddressed in a satisfactory manner: I stand by my commitment”, he said.
“Tomorrow, I will join the people in a peaceful and dignified attempt to demand answers on their issues from the government,” Mehdi said and added “I request all those voluntarily coming to maintain civility and focus on raising genuine demands for a rational reservation policy”.
He said, “To those who seek to exploit this issue for political gains: I welcome you to step out tomorrow and step away from rhetoric. Show your sincerity where it matters—the streets”.
