India, Oct. 23 -- National Conference candidate for the bypoll to the Budgam Assembly segment, Aga Syed Mehmood, on Wednesday said it was for the estranged party member, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, to decide whether he would campaign for him.

"It is for him (Ruhullah) to decide whether he wants to join the campaign or not. He is a party man. He is my relative also, I cannot deny that. However, it is his choice whether he wants to campaign or not," Mehmood told reporters while campaigning.
