SRINAGAR, Apr 25: Apni Party president, Syed Mohd Altaf Bukhari today said that the politics rooted in rhetoric, exploitation, and manipulation must end in Jammu and Kashmir.”
He appealed to the people to reject the deceptive and exploitative traditional parties and their leaders in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He was addressing a public rally in Khansahib area of central Kashmir’s Budgam district today.
Taking a dig at the traditional political parties and their leaders, Bukhari said, “I fail to understand how these parties muster the courage to come to the people seeking votes. In 2019, they urged people to vote for them to help protect Article 370 and 35A. People believed them and made their candidates win. But when the testing time came on August 5, 2019, these so-called public representatives did not even bother to talk or protest against the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A. At least these MPs could have resigned to protest the abrogation. Now, they are again coming to people seeking votes. Why should people vote for the same parties who have deceived them again and again over the years and decades?”
“I request you to use the power of your vote to put an end to their exploitative politics. Don’t allow them to deceive you yet again through fake promises and emotional sloganeering,” Bukhari said.
He promised that when his party secures a mandate in both Parliamentary and Assembly polls, it will ensure to eradicate all the major issues afflicting the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Bukhari said once the Apni Party comes to power, it will develop several tourist destinations, including the Tosha Maidan meadow, to create new employment opportunities. He also promised that the Apni Party will provide 500 units of electricity free to every household.
The prominent among those present on the occasion include Rafi Ahmad Mir, party candidate from Srinagar, Mohd Ashraf Mir, Muntazir Mohiuddin, Khalid Badana, Rafiq Balot, Najeeb Naqvi, Waseem Dar, Dawood Lodhi, Syed Azad, Sajad Sheikh, Ghulam Mohd Hilal, Bilal Ahmad Dar and Ashiq Hussain.
