We need to ensure peace, tranquillity for our younger generation: Altaf Bukhari

Srinagar, Oct 23: Apni Party (AP) president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari Sunday said that peace and tranquillity in Jammu and Kashmir is imperative for a better future to the young generation.
He said that the political narratives and emotional slogans that the traditional political parties have been promoting here over the years have caused huge losses to J&K and its people.
He was addressing a party convention in Manigam Devsar area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Sunday, a statement from the party said.
Maintaining that the Apni Party believes in the politics of truth and justice, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “We do not believe in the politics of lies and deception. We will always tell the truth to our people even if the truth is bitter. We cannot deceive our own people, especially the youth by promoting false promises and emotional slogans. We want a better future for our youth and the coming generation. And, for a better future, we need to ensure a peaceful environment here.”
He added, “Apni party’s key agenda is to work for the peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir because people here have been suffering hugely for the past more than three decades. We have seen deaths and destruction here and we cannot afford to continue with the same situation, thus we need to ensure a peaceful atmosphere here.”
He further said that New Delhi may or may not necessarily require peace in Jammu and Kashmir, but people are in dire need of restoration of peace because unless we have a peaceful atmosphere in J&K, we cannot have growth and development here. And, we cannot afford one more generation of turmoil and bloodshed.
Bukhari assured people that the Apni Party has a clear-cut vision for a prosperous and developed Jammu and Kashmir.
He said, “I assure you that we will ensure prosperity, development here, and job opportunities for the youngsters. We know how to create a system to ensure justice and equal opportunities for all.”
