Early Times Report
Srinagar, July 30: Veteran politician and former National Conference (NC) stalwart Mohammad Syed Akhoon on Thursday joined Apni Party along with a large number of his associates and supporters. A seasoned political leader, Akhoon has represented the Hazratbal constituency multiple times as a member of the Legislative Assembly and is widely recognised for his long public and political career. He was formally welcomed into the party by the president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari and other senior party leaders during a special joining ceremony held at the party headquarters in Srinagar. The event was attended by prominent party functionaries, who welcomed Akhoon’s entry into the party. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that he was confident Mohammad Syed Akhoon’s wisdom, and decades of political experience would greatly benefit Apni Party. He added that Akhoon’s association with the party would further strengthen its vision and reinforce its commitment to serving the people with sincerity and dedication. Mr Bukhari said, “I, personally and on behalf of my party colleagues, wholeheartedly welcome Akhoon Sahib into Apni Party. His joining is far more than any electoral dividends that the party could gain by his presence. His wisdom, integrity, and decades of rich political experience will undoubtedly strengthen the party and serve as a guiding force in our collective journey.”
He added, “It gives me immense pleasure to welcome Akhoon Sahib into the Apni Party family, and I am sure that his presence will add tremendous value to our vision and mission of serving the people.”
He further said that, unlike traditional political parties, Apni Party does not belong to any individual or family. Rather, it belongs to the masses and is open to everyone who is genuinely committed to serving the people with honesty, sincerity, and selfless dedication.”
Recalling the time when Apni Party was established in March 2020, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, “This party was established at a time when launching a new political party was probably not an appropriate or a good time. However, my colleagues and I had no other choice but to create this political platform so that we could stand firmly with the people of Jammu and Kashmir during one of the most challenging periods in their history.” |
