National Conference MP Ruhullah Mehdi criticized the Jammu and Kashmir government over recent demolition drives, specifically questioning the demolition of journalist Arfaz Ahmad Daing's house. Mehdi highlighted the family's claim of living there for decades without notice and contrasted the government's inaction with an offer of land from a private citizen. He urged the government to fulfill its promises and engage with protesting students regarding reservation issues, warning of public backlash if commitments are not met.
