Srinagar, Nov 25 (PTI) Estranged National Conference Lok Sabha MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has asked the party-led government in Jammu and Kashmir to resolve the reservation issue before the Winter session of Parliament ends, saying he will join the quota protests if no action is taken.

The Winter session will be held from December 1 to 19, with 15 working days.

Mehdi has backed the demand of the general category candidates for a review of the existing reservation policy. He also accused the Union territory administration of ignoring the concerns of educated youth.

“What will it take for those in the government to understand the agony and hopelessness that our aspiring youths are facing? What will make them understand that this is suffocating an entire young generation and pushing them to walls?

“Doesn’t today’s case in the Vaishno Devi University about students with merit open their eyes? Don’t they feel the urgency to resolve this matter and give some relief to our youth,” Mehdi, the Budgam MP and an influential Shia leader, said in a post on X.
