Former legislator Ishfaq Jabbar announces support for Apni Party’s candidate in Srinagar
Srinagar: Former legislator from central Kashmir’s Ganderbal Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar Monday announced support for Apni Party’s Srinagar Lok Sabha candidate Mohammad Ashraf Mir.
Talking to media persons here, he said that his party Jammu Kashmir United Movement (JKUM) will fight Lok Sabha polls in Srinagar together with the Apni Party.
“Fighting polls separately will obviously benefit those who have pushed the people of Jammu and Kashmir into immense trouble. We have decided to fight polls jointly and pitch for restoration of statehood, end to power woes and other issues,” he said.
He added that Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari “had requested us to join hands for the greater cause of Jammu and Kashmir, and we obeyed the call.”
