Senior NC Leader Quits Party, Alleges Abdullah Family Betrayal

Aga Syed Ruhullah announced his resignation from the National Conference on Tuesday, characterizing his exit as a personal liberation from the party's internal dynamics. In a statement, Ruhullah described the move as his 'azaadi'—or freedom—signaling a definitive break from the organization.

Ruhullah leveled serious allegations against the party's senior leadership, specifically naming Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah. He accused them of reneging on pledges made to the electorate and utilizing him primarily to serve the party's electoral objectives rather than for genuine political partnership.

The resignation underscores mounting tensions within the National Conference, which has long dominated regional politics in Jammu and Kashmir. Such high-profile departures often signal deeper organizational fissures and questions about leadership credibility ahead of electoral cycles.

Ruhullah's decision to go public with his grievances suggests a breakdown in internal party mechanisms for resolving disputes. His departure adds to a growing list of political realignments in the region as various factions reassess their affiliations and political futures.
