Srinagar: Apni Party’s Shopian District Body, which was recently restructured and reformed, held an extraordinary meeting at the party’s headquarters in Srinagar on Saturday.
Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari presided over the meeting, while Party’s Vice President and District President Shopian Zaffar Iqbal Manhas, and District President Anantnag Abdul Rahim Rather were also present in the meeting.
According to a press statement issued here, besides taking stock of the present political scenario in J&K, certain party matters, especially those related to the district body of Shopian, were thoroughly discussed in the meeting.
On this occasion, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari extended his gratitude to Zaffar Iqbal Manhas for reshaping the party’s district body in Shopian to make it more vibrant and active in terms of its political activities and public outreach.
Reiterating his thoughts about the party’s agenda and vision, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “Apni Party has the distinction of being a party that gained people’s trust in the shortest period —after the party was established in March 2020. The way people from across the Valley made their way to SK stadium on our call on November 12, was a clear indication that people have complete faith in the unambiguous agenda and people-friendly policies of the Apni Party. Now, here comes a great responsibility for us. We have to work hard to get our agenda implemented in order to fulfill the expectations of the people.”
“We have made several commitments to the people, and we ought to fulfill these commitments,” he added.
“We are committed to getting the jailed youth released; ensuring a dignified life to the people, especially the youth; restoring social and administrative justice; making sure the political and constitutional rights for the people are restored; ensuring political and economic empowerment of the people, and so on and so forth,” he explained,
During the meeting, public issues and grievances were also discussed. Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “It is painful to see that people are grappling with issues like rising unemployment, inflation, arbitrary hike in power tariff, inadequate power supply, and so on.”
He assured that Apni Party will keep striving to ensure these issues are resolved and people are given relief.
While talking about the economic slowdown in J&K, Apni Party President said that the LG administration has failed to support trade and the important industries in J&K. He promised the Apni Party. If gets a mandate, will take serious initiatives to support the trade and industry here. “We have a clear vision to boost our main industries that fetch huge revenue and add significantly to the GDP. We will give subsidies to the industries to ensure they are strengthened up to their full potential.”
