Inaugurates party’s new office in Humhama

Srinagar, 21 April:  Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Tuesday urged the centre to begin a dialogue process with the people of Kashmir.

 

Bukhari made these remarks while addressing a workers’ gathering today in Humhama, where he inaugurated the party’s new office.

 

He said a dialogue is imperative to bridge the trust deficit.

 

“I appeal to the Hon’ble Home Minister to initiate a dialogue with the people, especially the youth, to bridge the trust deficit and address their grievances.” he said.

 

Bukhari further said that Apni Party’s aim is to establish a kind of politics in Jammu and Kashmir in which there is no scope for hatred, negativity, or violence.  “We want to give the politics of Jammu and Kashmir a new direction in order to make it beneficial for the people of this land.”

 

Speaking on the economic aspect of Jammu and Kashmir, the Apni Party president said, “We want a financial structure to be established here that will ensure the complete elimination of poverty in Jammu and Kashmir. No one should remain poor here. Every individual should be on the path of development and progress.”

 

Emphasising the need for empowering women folk in Jammu and Kashmir, Bukhari said the Apni Party advocates women’s empowerment.

 

“It is a well-established fact that women constitute half of the population. If they remain economically, socially, and educationally disadvantaged, our entire society will lag behind,” he added.

 

Reiterating his demand for the release of detainees, Bukahri said, “Hundreds of people are in jail, yet nobody is talking about it. These politicians are not even raising the issue. How long will these people remain behind bars?” he added.
