Addressing the occasion, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “I am fully satisfied with the performance of the party leaders and the grassroots-level cadre across Jammu and Kashmir. Apni Party stands out as the only party in this region that has received tremendous public support and acceptance from the masses within a span of less than four years since its establishment in March 2020. With a clear-cut vision and agenda for peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir, Apni Party has emerged as a credible and genuine political alternative for the people of J&K who want to rid themselves of the decades-long exploitative politics of the traditional parties.”
“However, our satisfaction should lead not us to stop garnering further strength and support from the people. It is our responsibility to ensure that people across the region are well aware of our mission and vision. We have to work diligently to ensure that people in every area know the fact that Apni Party is dedicated to fostering permanent peace, enduring prosperity, and equitable development across Jammu and Kashmir,” Mr Bukhari added.
