Srinagar- Member of Parliament from Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency and National Conference (NC) leader, Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Sunday said that he is neither concerned about becoming an MLA nor interested in the Union Territory's Assembly.

Aga was reacting to the party's Vice President and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's remark that he had committed“political suicide” in Budgam.

Speaking to reporters after returning home from a Germany tour-where he received a grand welcome-Ruhullah said Omar Abdullah's“thinking has become too small.”

“I am not worried about becoming an MLA. Unfortunately, his thinking is so small that even in these circumstances he is only concerned about how and when to become an MLA. I have already said that I do not wish to go to the UT Assembly. This fight is not about power or MLA positions,” he said, as per news agency KNO.

He added,“If he can think in terms of political suicide, does he also think about the fact that the political, religious and social rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are being crushed? Our struggle should be for the protection of these rights, but he is still thinking only about how to become an MLA.”

Referring to the Delhi attack and Nowgam Police Station blast, Ruhullah expressed grief over the loss of lives.“We stand with the bereaved families. We understand their pain because we have witnessed such incidents ourselves,” he said.
