Altaf Bukhari rejects family rule, calls for people-centric politics in J&K
Srinagar, May 06: Altaf Bukhari, president of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party, on Tuesday said his party stands for people-centric politics and rejects family rule and deceptive narratives in Jammu and Kashmir. Talking to media, Bukhari asserted that the Apni Party was founded on inclusive principles, where any committed worker can rise to leadership, emphasizing that neither his family nor relatives are part of politics. He said the partys primary objective is to represent the people of Jammu and Kashmir in Delhi rather than act as an agent of Delhi in the region. Criticising rival parties, Bukhari alleged that politics in recent elections, particularly in 2024, was driven by misleading narratives and emotional polarization. He expressed concern over the growing trend of elections being fought on religious lines, calling it harmful for the democratic fabric of Jammu and Kashmir, which he said traditionally remained above such divisions. Commenting on national developments, Bukhari referred to the electoral situation in West Bengal, stating that while allegations and counter-allegations are common, the voice of the people must be respected in a democracy. He also raised apprehensions about certain electoral processes, suggesting that any move leading to disenfranchisement of communities must be resisted. On social issues, Bukhari reiterated his partys demand for a ban on alcohol in Jammu and Kashmir, arguing that if prohibition can be implemented in states like Gujarat and Bihar, it should be considered in J&K as well. He extended support to ongoing anti-drug campaigns, describing substance abuse as a serious threat to society and future generations. Referring to the security situation, Bukhari said that despite the passage of time since the Pahalgam attack April 2025, several tourist destinations such as Yusmarg and Doodhpathri remain restricted. He urged authorities to ensure adequate security so that tourism and normalcy are fully restored. Taking a dig at parties like the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference and the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party, Bukhari accused them of double standards in their political engagements, particularly in relation to alliances and legislative decisions. He said such parties mislead the public while pursuing their own political interests. Bukhari maintained that his party will continue to focus on governance, transparency, and public welfare, urging people not to lose hope and to remain engaged in shaping the future of Jammu and Kashmir.(KNS)
