Rajouri.March 08 :–District President of Jammu and Apni Party, Adv. Syed Manzoor Bukhari criticized the traditional politicians of the erstwhile state and said that for the sake of so-called power, selfish politicians often show hollow dreams to innocent people that can never be interpreted.

He said that when the state was partially autonomous, power was gained by dreams of independence and later in the intoxication of the chair, thay also made a deal of autonomy and even the sovereignty was bargained

” There was politics for a long time on pre-1953 position, then autonomy and self-rule became the center of politics..” Manzoor said adding that politicians showed the dreams that could never be fulfilled.

After coming to power they bargained all the assets and special positions of the state, he accused further adding that because of dual politics and double standard of selfish politicians, such a day was witnessed when state’s our identity and integrity ceased to exist.

He was addressing party workers at Rajouri on the occasion of Jammu Kashmir Apni Party’s commemoration day.

Bukhari added that there was no political leader or political party which raised the voice of people’s rights when people’s representatives were imprisoned and restrictions on expression of opinion was imposed after the degradation of state and removal of Article 370 and 35A.

” At that time, there was an urgent need for a political leader to come forward with a forum that would talk about the integrity of the broken state and the rights of the people.” he said adding that in this most difficult hour, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, in consultation with a few realistic and dutiful leaders, founded Jammu Kashmir Apni party on March 8, 2020 and pledged to fight for the restoration of the state and other legitimate rights of the people.

Bukhari said that Jammu Kashmir Apni party will never trade for lies and dreams that will never be embarrassed.

Politics of deception and lies have already done great harm and the people are tired of such deceptive tactics, he added.

The party will strive for the restoration of all democratic rights with the guarantee of state integrity, public identity, restoration of peace, land and jobs.

Addressing the workers on the occasion, senior party leader Fazal Chauhan appealed to the country’s top leadership to immediately restore the status of the state and hold elections to the state assembly.

The state assembly is the only forum that is accountable to the people and the entire administration is accountable to the members of the assembly, he said.

Block President Peeri Chowdhry Mir Hussain in his address said that Jammu Kashmir Apni party is the only political party which is capable of restoring the lost dignity and rights of the state.

All that is needed now is factual guidance and politics, he said.

Speaking about the youth, he said that for the last half a century, the youth of this state have been going through a double grind.
He appealed to party head Syed Altaf Bukhari that central government should formulate a comprehensive employment policy for the youth of the region which would provide some relief.
