STATE TIMES NEWS

SRINAGAR: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, on Wednesday, said, “The alliances between regional and national parties have repeatedly caused suffering to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as seen in the 1987, 2008, and 2014 assembly elections.”
He added, “The coalition governments formed from these elections have caused significant turmoil, leading to deaths and destruction in the region.”
He reaffirmed that the Apni Party will contest the upcoming assembly elections independently, without seeking or offering support to any other political entity.
Bukhari also said that “rather than focusing on India-Pakistan issues, I am more concerned with the grievances and problems faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
Apni Party leader made these comments while campaigning in Chanapora, his home constituency, where he engaged with voters and urged their vote and support.
He visited several areas of Rawalpora Including Yayil, Chak Rawalpora, Rajput Colony, Munawar Colony, Wali Sahab Colony, and adjoining areas.
Altaf Bukhari continued and even intensified his poll campaign in the Chanapora constituency, where he is contesting as a candidate for the upcoming assembly elections.
Bukhari gave a patient hearing to the public complaints and assured them that he would bring these issues to the notice of the concerned officials, ensuring the redressal of these problems,” the press release said.
On religious organisations, Bukhari said, “I have always supported religious organisations and their leaders because I believe that they play an important role in improving society. Our younger generation and future generations need guidance from religious institutions and Islamic scholars to lead lives with high moral standards. Therefore, I am pleased to see that some candidates from religious parties are in the poll fray. This also reflects a positive shift in the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.”
