Aga Ruhullah Announces Resignation from Parliament and National Conference Amid Article 370 Dispute

Member of Parliament Aga Ruhullah has confirmed his intention to step down from his legislative position and sever ties with the National Conference party. According to reporting by the Deccan Herald, the resignation is scheduled to take effect on November 3.

The decision follows a period of internal friction within the party, specifically centered on the status of Article 370. The constitutional provision, which previously granted special status to the region, has remained a point of significant political contention. While the report indicates that the rift over this policy is the primary driver for the departure, no further details regarding the specific nature of the internal party deliberations were provided.

As of this reporting, the National Conference has not issued a formal statement regarding the impact of the resignation on its parliamentary standing or its future policy direction. The move marks a notable shift in the political landscape for the region, as the party prepares to lose a sitting member of parliament.
