MP Ruhullah Mehdi Demands Apology from Kejriwal for Supporting Decisions Affected Jammu and Kashmir in 2019

Member of Parliament from Srinagar and JKNC leader Aga Ruhullah Mehdi Tuesday asked the former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to apologize to the people of J-K for his stand in 2019 when the centre stripped J-K of its special status and reorganised the state into two different union territories.

Ruhullah’s reaction came after the AAP chief suggested CM-designate Omar Abdullah to consult him if he finds any difficulty to run what he called a ‘half-state’.“He is a part of INDIA bloc, I don’t want to say much, but I want to remind him that J&K is suffering. So before reminding us how to work, he should also introspect and apologise in some ways to the people of J&K, we will give respect to his partnership in the alliance,” news agency PTI quoted Ruhullah as saying.

The MP hoped that Kejriwal has introspected and realised how grave mistake it was, referring to the decisions of August 2019.He further said that he expected Kejriwal to remain a partner in rebuilding the nation while also empowering the people of J-K.
