On the directions of JKPCC Chief Tariq Hameed Karra, Tony chaired a meeting of party workers, here today.
Addressing the gathering, Tony highlighted that these elections are not merely a political exercise, but a critical opportunity for the people to shape their future by choosing leaders who prioritize development and public welfare over narrow agendas.
