Srinagar: Mushtaq Ahmad Lone, young and prominent social and political activist, from Khan Sahib today joined the Peoples Conference.
He was welcomed into the party fold by Chairman Sajad Gani Lone at his residence today. Senior VP Abdul Gani Vakil was also present on the occasion.
Welcoming Mushtaq Ahmad Lone in PC Chairman Sajad Lone said that the Peoples Conference is keen to blend experience with the exuberance of youth. “It is imperative for political parties to carve out space for youth leaders like Mushtaq Lone. We want to groom the youngsters to play a pivotal role and contribute to the politics and welfare of J&K in the coming decades.”
Responding to a question on the election preparations of political parties, Sajad Lone said that political parties afford the luxury of breaking the connection with the people of J&K. “We have not had a popular government in J&K for more than three years now. It is very important that all political parties maintain and further their connection with people on the ground. Alienation is not good for the people of Kashmir. The current political dispensation in J&K is a temporary one. The people of J&K and the political parties are the permanent stakeholders of our destiny. We cannot afford the luxury of breaking the contract with our people. Of course, there are ups and downs in the politics of J&K. But we have to take care of our people and our interests by remaining connected with the people of J&K.”
Speaking on the occasion, Abdul Gani Vakil, welcomed Mushtaq Ahmad Lone into the party fold and expressed confidence in his ability to further strengthen the party especially among the youth.
“I am certain that with all his abilities and his connection with the youth, Mushtaq Lone will serve the party with utmost commitment and dedication in the times to come,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Mushtaq Lone said that he was inspired by Sajad Gani Lone and the vision of J&K Peoples Conference.
He expressed his pleasure on joining the party and pledged to carry forward the mission and vision of the party among the youth of Kashmir.
