JAMMU: Apni Party President, Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has said that his party represents aspiration of all the regions in Jammu and Kashmir.
While speaking at a joining programme here at Apni Party Office in Gandhi Nagar, Jammu on Monday, Bukhari said the people from all faiths have extended support to the party’s policy and agenda of peace, and equitable development.
The programme was organized by Women Wing Provincial President, Jammu, Pavneet Kour.
Sarpanch, Hans Raj, Tripata Devi, Manoj Kumar, Taranjit Singh, Rakesh Mahajan, Choudhary Yashpal Singh, Satpal Sandotra, Sapna Devi, Balvinder Kumar, Dalbir Singh, Parmeet Singh, Inderpal Singh, Sardar Rajinder Singh, Subash Chander, Sourav Singh, and others who joined Apni Party in presence of Altaf Bukhari and other leaders of Apni Party.
While welcoming the new entrants into the party, Bukhari hoped that their joining would strengthen the party at the ground level. Many people who joined the Apni Party belong to different political parties.
He said that the Apni Party believes in equitable development, unity and equality in both the regions of Jammu and Kashmir. “The traditional political parties exploited the people of both the regions to garner votes from them and return to power. These regional as well as national political parties misused the vote bank of people for their personal gains, and the plight of people remained unchanged for more than seven decades,” he said.
He said that it was due to the policy of divide and rule that these political parties got exposed before the people and lost their trust among the people. “These political parties are not able to face the people in the elections. As there was a political vacuum, the Apni Party came into being to represent the people when others preferred to remain silent on serious issues, but always tried to create division between Jammu and Kashmir regions. We denounce any kind of divisive agenda. Therefore, Apni Party’s acceptance has increased among the people in all the regions, and all sections of society,” he added.
“If Apni Party forms the next Govt in J&K, we are committed to work for the people of both the region and protect their rights,” he added.
Meanwhile, he said that the decision of J&K Govt to allot 5 Marla land to landless people under PMAY (G) scheme beneficiaries is a welcome step. However, similar benefits should be given to the urban landless people residing in Jammu Municipal Corporation and Srinagar Municipal Corporation limits.
On this occasion, district presidents, frontal heads, trade union, wings, and cell heads were present.
