SRINAGAR: Several political activists from Banihal, including former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesperson Shahrukh Khan, joined the Apni Party on Friday during an event held at the party headquarters in Srinagar.
The new entrants were welcomed by Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari in the presence of senior party leaders.
