In a crucial meeting on Wednesday, a group of student activists sought the support of National Conference Lok Sabha MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi concerning the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir.
The activists met with Mehdi at his home in Budgam, voicing concerns over the policy, which reserves only 30% of seats for open merit candidates. Mehdi assured the activists of his unwavering support in addressing their concerns.
This meeting occurred shortly after the cabinet sub-committee's report deadline on the reservation policy. With the report drafting led by education minister Sakina Itoo, the delegation awaits its release to decide their next move, potentially launching a democratic struggle if demands aren't met.
