The party president while addressing a huge gathering “JKNPF is determined to solve the problems faced by the people at large. They have been conned for so many years by various political parties, however, our party does not believe in emotive sloganeering; instead, we focus on realistic issues that affect the routine lives of our people.”
He said that today’s mass joining is an example of how people are fed up with the ‘Family Raj’.
“The people who believed in politics of making their lives prosperous and miserable to the common masses have no space in today’s world,” Muzaffar said adding that women are at the centre of discourse in the state and we won’t let them be ignored.
“Political parties owe a responsibility and have a duty toward women”, the president said that it is time for women to stand up and understand that together we can change the scenario and fight for our rights.
Muzaffar pledged for farm loan waiver, free electricity for the people below the poverty line if the party comes into power.
While welcoming the new entrants into the party fold, the party patron Sanjay Kumar impressed upon the new entrants to extend their full cooperation to the party in getting the problems of their areas resolved.
Sanjay Kumar, founder and Chief Patron of JKNPF said that equal participation of men and women in the political process is the need of the hour.
