Put an end to exploitation by Abdullah’s and Mufti’s in J&K with the power of vote: Bukhari

Srinagar: Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari on Tuesday urged people to put an end to the exploitation by political families of Abdullahs and Muftis in Jammu and Kashmir through the power of vote.

He said it is the responsibility of the people to put an end to the continuous exploitation by political families of Abdullahs and Muftis in Jammu and Kashmir through the power of the vote.

“The era of autocracy supposedly ended in 1947 when the Maharaja left J&K. However, unfortunately, since then, we have seen a chain of ‘Maharajas’ in the guise of democratic leaders over the past seven decades”, Bukhari said during a public rally in central Kashmir’s Budgam district on Tuesday.

Lashing out at the NC and PDP Bukhari said, “These parties have always exhibited hypocrisy in pursuit of their political objectives.

He said, “In a striking display of opportunism, NC leaders once ridiculed Congress members by calling them ‘the worms of the gutter’, yet today, they have formed an alliance with the very same Congress, undoubtedly driven solely by political advantages.”

“Similarly, the PDP kept people busy with slogans like self-rule, only to maintain its hold on power and establish the dynastic rule of its leaders here”, he said and added “this party sought people’s votes in 2014, promising to keep the BJP out of J&K, but after winning the elections, its top leadership betrayed the people’s mandate and formed a coalition government with the same BJP.”

“Hypocrisy seems to be ingrained in the very nature of these political families,” he added.

Bukhari applauded people for their contribution to peace in Jammu and Kashmir and assured them that the Apni Party would ensure permanent peace and tranquility in this region.

“I congratulate the people who have chosen to uphold peace and tranquility in Jammu and Kashmir following the events of August 5, 2019. This atmosphere of peace and tranquility has already begun yielding economic benefits for the people in J&K”, he said.

Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari urged people to support and vote for the Apni Party. We only promise what we believe can be delivered. We are here to ensure peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir.
