Apni Party workers’ convention in Tral
Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, July 16: Apni Party president, Altaf Bukhari, today said `Jammu and Kashmir is a part of India not because of the country’s Army but because of the people of this land, who chose to be associated with it in 1947.
History stands witness to the fact that Kashmiris bravely resisted and pushed back the attackers by using sticks and stones against them. He also said that the prevailing peace and harmony should be credited to the common people rather than the ruling party or the administration, as the people of this land have played a significant role in fostering peace in recent years.
Bukhari made these remarks today while addressing a largely attended workers’ convention at Batagund Tral in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, where people thronged to the rally. The party workers and the local youth gave a rousing reception to the party president and his accompanying leaders upon their arrival at the venue, creating an atmosphere of great enthusiasm and support.
Addressing the rally, Bukhari emphasised the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is destined to be with India, and the solution to all the problems will come from New Delhi. He said, ” Apni Party is committed to honesty and integrity and will not resort to falsehoods or make empty promises to the people. Therefore, unlike other conventional parties, we do not falsely promise the moon and stars. Instead, we promise that Apni Party, when given the mandate, will ensure the protection of the rights of Jammu and Kashmir people and bring prosperity and development to the region.”
He further elaborated on his views and said, ” Over the past 75 years, traditional politicians and political parties have misled the people with their deceitful narratives and emotionally charged slogans, such as ‘Rai Shumari,’ ‘Autonomy,’ ‘Self-rule,’ and more. Time has proven all these slogans to be fake and deceptive. The political parties and their leaders used these alluring slogans only to attain power and remain in power.”
Senior leaders GH Mir, Rafi Ahmad Mir, Abdul Majeed Padder, Mohd Ashraf Mir and Muntazir Mohiuddin also addressed the rally.
