Srinagar, Nov 27 : Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Thursday said that his political stance is driven by principles and not positions of power, a day after Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary advised him to raise his voice in Parliament and stop seeking the limelight.
Speaking with reporters, Aga Ruhullah, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that people who lack discipline, principle, honesty, and loyalty in their politics are not even worthy of a response.
“The Deputy CM left the PDP, and yet he advises me about principles and party. My fight is for principles, not for the chair. I have not changed the party and principles for the chair,” he said.
He said that two years ago, the Deputy CM was not in the National Conference, and sometimes aligned with the BJP, sometimes with the PDP. “Wherever he gets the chair and opportunity, he goes there,” Ruhullah said.
He also said that such people have no principles, no values, and no direction in their lives. “My politics and my efforts are based on principles and values. That is why, if I have expressed disagreement with the party, it is based on principles, and not for the chair,” he said.
