Altaf Bukhari, president of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party, on Thursday called upon the Centre led by Narendra Modi to fulfil the promises made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing reporters, Bukhari said that the people of Kashmir have chosen the path of peace over the past several years and urged the central government to reciprocate by delivering on commitments, particularly those concerning the youth.
Commenting on the recent ceasefire understanding between Iran and the United States, he expressed hope that the truce would become permanent and contribute to global stability.
Raising concerns over detainees, Bukhari stated that hundreds of individuals from Jammu and Kashmir are allegedly lodged in jails without trial and demanded their release to ensure justice.
He also criticised the functioning of the National Conference government in the Union Territory, questioning its effectiveness. He remarked that even after 18 months, the promises made by the party remain unfulfilled, adding that there appears to be confusion regarding the government’s performance and presence on the ground.
Bukhari reiterated the need for accountability, development, and sustained peace in the region.
