| Traditional parties running away from their commitments: Bukhari | | |  Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 28: Alleging that traditional political parties are running away from their commitments, Apni Party (AP) president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday said restoration of statehood is imperative for addressing peoples sufferings. Addressing a day-long Party convention at Damhal-Hajipora in district Kulgam, Bukhari asserted that such political parties in J&K have once again got exposed for their double-dealing and deceitful politics carried out for avid and ulterior electoral gains. “Why are those political parties who had promised restoration of Articles 370 & 35-A through District Development Council (DDC) elections, mum? They possess no sense of shame or feel remorseful for deceiving and playing with the emotions of the people,” Bukhari alleged. He, however, said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir shall hold them accountable for their misdeeds and political gimmickry. “These political parties must answer about the promises made with the people prior to DDC elections or otherwise AP shall be forced to unveil their two-faced designs,” Bukhari said. The one-day Party convention was organized by AP Chief Coordinator Abdul Majeed Padder and was attended by a significant number of Party workers and the general public. During his speech, Bukhari said that AP has never resorted to emotive sloganeering or stressed on frivolous issues that hardly affect normal public life in Jammu and Kashmir. “Apni Party adheres to the principle of ‘Politics of Truth’ and has always focused on concrete issues that are relevant to the welfare of the people. For that our one-year journey is ample proof of what we have achieved so far and what else is rigorously being followed up in the interest of public welfare,” he said. Bukhari also reiterated that regaining statehood is the core demand of AP. He said: “Statehood is indispensable for such a vast region as Jammu and Kashmir. An erstwhile State like Jammu and Kashmir cannot be managed by a bureaucratic regime. We urge the Central Government to go for restoration of statehood to J&K at an earliest so that democratic process would start accordingly in proper manner,” Bukhari said. |
