| Bukhari demands statehood, elections in J&K | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Sept 10: Apni Party (AP) president and former minister Syed Altaf Bukhari Friday demanded restoration of statehood and holding of elections in the Jammu and Kashmir.
Bukhari was speaking after inaugurating Party’s central office at high security Church Lane, Sonwar-Srinagar, in presence of the Party leadership.
Speaking on the occasion Bukhari reiterated Apni Party’s demand for an immediate restoration of the Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir besides holding assembly elections at the earliest in order to mitigate the miseries of the people.
The people of J&K eagerly await a democratically elected government that will effectively address their pressing pleas at grassroots level. Elections remain crucial for revitalizing the sluggish pace of the developmental works in the region, Bukhari said, while alleging to the governance deficit in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the Party’s demand for Statehood resonates with the aspiration of the people of J&K and the government of India must take a call on this pressing demand.
On the sidelines of this function, Bukhari held a brief interaction with the media persons in which he said that even those political parties that earlier ridiculed Apni Party for its Statehood demand were now crying hoarse about its urgency.
It’s extremely painful to see how JK’s traditional regional political parties play with the peoples’ emotions. From regretting not taking part in Panchayat elections to tagging restoration of Statehood imperative for progress, and claiming a big win in the forthcoming elections only exposes the selfish designs of these political forums,? Bukhari said without naming National Conference (NC) president and former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah who has recently said NC should have participated in the panchayat elections.
Bukhari said that these traditional political leaders must understand that they cannot befool the people. “We are not like these political chameleons that change their stance from forming PAGD, boycotting elections, then diluting its position every now and then and now crying for participation in elections. Apni Party’s stand is unwavering and it will remain so,” he said, while recalling how Apni Party became the voice of people of J&K and ensured protections of their rights on land and jobs recently. |
