SAMBA, June 27: Asserting that Apni Party’s stand gets vindicated with the participation of all political parties of J&K in Prime Minister’s Meeting, provincial president of the Party and former Minister Manjit Singh said that talking to the Government of India will resolve the issues being confronted by the people.
“Apni Party came into being when J&K’s prestige was eroded and other political parties were not ready to speak. We started our fight for the restoration of Statehood and protection of land and jobs for the people of J&K and our president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari went to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narender Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to raise issues of people who were in despair after August 5, 2019,” said Manjit Singh at a public meeting in Sarore.
He said the Party president raised the issues like restoration of Statehood, holding of assembly elections and elected Government of J&K. “Unlike many politicians, Bukhari never plays with the emotions of people. He speaks the same language that he speaks in Delhi and Srinagar. Apni Party always stands for holding dialogue,” said former Minister.
Manjit said that their stand got vindicated with the participation of political parties in the All Party Meet of the Prime Minister as they were reluctant in the past to hold dialogue with the Government of India.
He said, “We believe in dialogue with the Government of India to end the political crises in J&K so that the elections are held. An elected Government is necessary for the redressal of public issues as the bureaucracy has miserably failed on all fronts to come up to the expectation of the people”.
The Apni Party leader said it was unfortunate that some of the politicians of J&K have started misleading people on arriving in Kashmir after attending All Party Meet in New Delhi where they preferred silence. Their double standard has again been exposed before the public,” he said.
