Srinagar : Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari said on Thursday that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are eagerly awaiting their right to elect their own representatives through the democratic process. He added that everyone is expecting an announcement regarding assembly elections by the Election Commission of India (ECI), which is currently on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.
Talking to reporters in Bandipora Bukhari said that Jammu and Kashmir people are eagerly waiting for the elections. He said, “For the past 10 years, the people of J&K have been awaiting their right to elect their representatives. We expect that the ECI team, which is currently visiting J&K, will make an announcement regarding the holding of assembly elections.”
Replying to a question regarding the quitting of a party leader and some workers from Bandipora, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “We wish them good luck. People joining or leaving political parties is not unusual. I believe that all of us essentially want to serve the people. There is nothing wrong if someone with the same purpose changes their platform.”
