Ruhullah accuses BJP, questions J&K government performance
The Story in Brief
Srinagar MP Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday, 20 October accused the BJP of creating a hostile environment for Kashmiris both within Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere, citing verification, movement restrictions and the Karnal incident. He said the situation had not normalised since 2019 and alleged that Kashmir instead faced polarisation.
Ruhullah also questioned the performance of the J&K government on employment, reservation, electricity and protection of local jobs. He called for concrete institutional efforts to reverse the abrogation of Article 370, describing the decision of 5 August 2019 as wrong. On electoral accountability, he demanded criminal proceedings against the Chief Election Commissioner if allegations were established.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Greater Kashmir leads with Ruhullah's accusation against the BJP of creating hostility, while Rising Kashmir leads with his questioning of the J&K government's performance. Both outlets report his call for reversing Article 370's abrogation and his criticism of the Election Commission. Greater Kashmir also carries his remarks on protests demanding the CEC's resignation and on National Conference President Farooq Abdullah's comments. Rising Kashmir gives more detail on student and intern grievances and the government's unmet deadline. The coverage is uniform in attributing all claims to Ruhullah. Neither source offers official counterpoints.
