Since people want to participate in elections, Khan said, the political parties in the electoral fray have allegedly been trying to dodge the voters again like they were doing it from the last 70 years.
"It is time to change and support the Apni Party on the ground which stands for unity and brotherhood. We have an agenda of development. We are against divisive forces in J&K and similarly, we will not tolerate division of people on the name of Pahari and Gujjars in Mendhar. People should not get misled with the false slogans and support the Apni Party for the prosperous future," said contesting candidate of Apni Party, Tahir Ali Mirza from Mendhar-B DDC constituency.
Mirza said "BJP, NC, and PDP have been exposed with their silence on many serious issues and negligence of Mendhar which is still struggling to get clean drinking water and proper electricity supply. The health facilities are also the serious concern of the residents."
