'Wada kursi se bada hai': Srinagar MP to quit NC, targets J&K CM Omar over ideology

BUDGAM: At the entrance of the National Conference (NC) Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi home’s two large banners at the gate sum up the message he wants to convey. One reads, “Wada kursi se bada hai” (a promise is bigger than a chair), while the other says, “Kirdar ki siyasat, usoolon ki siyasat” (politics of character, politics of principles).Inside the hall, party workers gathered in small groups, discussing the fallout of Mehdi's announcement that he would formally resign from as NC MP at a rally here on November 3 on the death anniversary of his father. One worker said, “even at a barber's shop, people do not give up their chairs for someone else even if that person is older. Here is a man willing to leave his chair for the sake of principles.
