SRINAGAR, May 18: Apni Party today demanded holding of upcoming Panchayat and ULB elections on party-base.
The demand came to the fore after the party passed a resolution seeking party-based election for the proposed Panchayats and ULBs. The resolution, presented by the party’s State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin and supported by Provincial president Mohammad Ashraf Mir, received unanimous approval.
Besides senior leaders, the meeting held at the party headquarters in Srinagar, was attended by all the zonal leaders and senior workers from the Srinagar district, a press release said.
On this occasion, the party president Altaf Bukhari asked the party leaders and grassroots cadres to prepare themselves for the forthcoming Urban Local Bodies (ULB) and Panchayat polls and assured them that with the significant public support received by the Apni Party, it will emerge as the primary victor in the electoral contest.
According to the press release, Bukhari, while addressing the meeting, said that, unlike the traditional political parties, Apni Party would refrain from engaging in political gimmicks and the politics of false promises, instead it would promise to implement its robust developmental agenda.
“As we know, it has become a common practice for traditional political parties to allure their voters through deceptive promises and emotional slogans. However, we firmly believe in upholding the trust of our people, so we will never mislead them. Instead, we will guarantee our voters that we will implement our development agenda if we are mandated to serve them,” he added.
Urging party leaders and grassroots cadres to gear up for the upcoming ULB and Panchayat polls, Bukhari said, “It is of utmost importance for you to stay connected with the masses in your respective constituencies. By doing so, you can raise awareness among the voters regarding our party’s vision and objectives.”
“Besides making people aware of our agenda and policies, we also must make them aware of the deceptive politics of the traditional political parties, who have always misled the people through deceptive political narratives that eventually brought miseries to the people over the course of the past several decades,” he added.
The prominent leaders who were present on the occasion included Mohammad Ashraf Mir, Junaid Azim Mattu, Muntazir Mohiuddin, Noor Mohd Sheikh, Haji Parvez, Jagmohan Raina, Dilshada Shaheen, Bilal Bhat, Khalid Rathore, Muzaffar Hussain Reshi, Shoaib Dar, Aijaz Rather and others.
