Apni Party will ensure dignified life for people: Altaf Bukhari

Srinagar, May 05: “Apni Party is committed to ensuring a dignified life for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We have a clear vision to ensure the economic and political empowerment of the people of J&K, and we possess the will and potential to implement this vision on the ground,” said the party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday.
Addressing public rallies in Srinagar’s Chanapora and south Kashmir’s Pulwama. At Chanapora, he urged people to vote and support the Apni Party for a better and brighter future for Jammu and Kashmir and its people.
“Unlike conventional parties, the ideology and agenda of the Apni Party are rooted in the politics of integrity and truthfulness. We do not believe in lies and deceptions for the sake of political gain. That is why the Apni Party does not attempt to allure people with tall claims and false promises. We will never promise to deliver the moon and stars to you. We only promise what we believe is possible to fulfill,” he said.
He went on to say, “And, we believe that we can ensure a dignified life for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We will ensure permanent peace, enduring prosperity, and equitable development across Jammu and Kashmir, and we will ensure that the people of this region are economically and politically empowered.”
Addressing the rally in Pulwama, Altaf Bukhari said, “Once Apni Party receives a public mandate, we will ensure that the 1400 youths currently in jails are released back to their homes so they can resume a normal life with their families. Also, we will expedite the pending police verifications for job aspirants and passport seekers. We are committed to preventing any form of injustice against the people.”
The Apni Party President accused the traditional parties of unleashing corruption in Jammu and Kashmir. He said, “One of the leaders looted the funds meant for sports in Kashmir. His case is open and shut. I don’t demand his arrest, but at least the accused should feel some guilt, thus bowing his head in shame.”
Urging people to vote for the Apni Party, Bukhari said, “This election is a battle between truth and falsehood. It is the time when you need to choose change to end the politics of false narratives, fake promises, and hollow slogans perpetuated by traditional parties. I request that you support the Apni Party for a better and brighter future.
Addressing the rally in Chanapora, the party’s Senior Vice President, Ghulam Hassan Mir, said that traditional parties have damaged the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to the core over the years and decades.
He said the Apni Party is committed to leading the young population on the path of peace, prosperity, and development. “We will never lead our youth towards violence and destruction; instead, we will guide them towards the path of peace, prosperity, and development,” he said.
Mir demanded the removal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and emphasised the need for the Army to return to their barracks. “Now that peace has been restored in Jammu and Kashmir, we demand the removal of AFSPA and the return of the Army to their barracks. If the central government takes this step, we will support it.”
