JAMMU: A prominent political activist, Sanny Sangral along with dozens of youth has joined Apni Party in presence of the President of the Party, Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari sahab.
The joining programme was organized at the Apni Party Office in Gandhi Nagar which was chaired by Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari.
Bukhari Sahab welcomed Sunny Sangral into the party fold along with dozens of youth and hoped that their joining would strengthen the party.
In his speech, he said that Apni Party has gained popularity among the youth in Jammu and Kashmir and the joining of Sunny Sangral has boosted the morale of the party’s youth wing.
He referred to various issues being confronted by the people of Jammu and Kashmir especially increasing unemployment, public concern regarding the anti-encroachment drive, unscheduled power cuts, slow pace of developmental activities, poor infrastructure in the health and education sector, etc.
“Our fight is against the elements who want to create division in the name of region and religion will continue. Apni Party is committed to bringing stability, peace, and prosperity,” he said.
He said that “We want to give you your own Govt which can provide equitable development to both the regions. In fact, the people of both regions are facing similar problems and the solutions to their issues are also the same.”
Expressing concern over the continuous anti-encroachment drive, he said that ‘This Govt has no other option but to regularise the unauthorized colonies. Even the Govt in Delhi has regularised such colonies from time to time, but it seems they do not understand the issues of the poor people,’
He further said that ‘The elected Govt will take a decision regarding unauthorized colonies. The administration has no right to displace people from their land. If we form the next Govt, we will reverse anti-people decisions of the administration like stopping of the darbar move practice and anti-encroachment drives, etc.’
He assured that ‘We will not allow the non-locals to settle in Jammu and Kashmir. The land in J&K belongs to the people of the erstwhile state of J&K.’
He criticized some elements who want to disturb peace in J&K on communal, and regional lines and erase the emotions of the people with the anti-encroachment drive.
He, however, appealed to the people to maintain peace and criticized the civil administration for its anti-encroachment drive.
Meanwhile, the Provincial President, of Jammu, S. Manjit Singh also spoke on the occasion and welcomed Sunny Sangral who joined Apni Party from the Samba district with his supporters.
