Altaf Bukhari, senior leaders extend warm welcome
SRINAGAR: Prominent political activist from Srinagar’s Chanapora constituency, Jibran Dar, on Wednesday formally joined Apni Party, along with his associates and supporters. Dar and his colleagues joined Apni Party during a special event held at the party headquarters in Srinagar, where the party leadership extended a warm welcome to the new entrants.
Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, accompanied by senior party leaders, greeted Jibran Dar and his associates and expressed confidence that their inclusion would further strengthen the party at the grassroots level in the Chanapora constituency.
Addressing the gathering, Bukhari said it was a matter of great satisfaction for the party to welcome committed political activists who are dedicated to public service. “I warmly welcome Jibran Dar Sahib and his associates into the Apni Party. His induction will undoubtedly add strength to the party’s presence at the grassroots level in Chanapora,” he said.
Bukhari assured the new members that the party would provide them with ample opportunities to serve the people and work for the development and welfare of their constituency. “Apni Party will remain a reliable platform for dedicated individuals who wish to contribute to the welfare of society and the development of their areas,” he added.
On this occasion, addressing a press conference, Altaf Bukhari strongly urged Centre government to confidence-building measures (CBMs), including a meaningful dialogue process with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, to bridge the existing trust deficit between J&K and the Centre.
Reiterating his demands, Apni Party president said, “We are not asking for anything new. The Hon’ble Prime Minister and the Hon’ble Home Minister have already promised to engage in dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This is the right time to begin a meaningful dialogue to address the pressing problems faced by the people here. The people of J&K have chosen the path of peace and normalcy; now it is for the Centre to respond by initiating a sincere and meaningful dialogue.”
