Budgam, Sep 05 (KNO): Launching a scathing attack on ruling National Conference, Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday accused the party of betraying the people of Kashmir.
Addressing media persons at Watakulu Charar-e-Sharief, Bukhari as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said people would not forget what he termed the National Conference’s “betrayal” and questioned the party’s political approach towards the issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir.
Reacting to the National Conference’s allegation that the Apni Party was the “B-team of the BJP,” Bukhari questioned whether the same yardstick would be applied after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday.
On reports regarding the possible resignation of National Conference leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, Bukhari said that if Ruhullah intended to resign, he should first explain to the people how Articles 370 and 35A could be restored.
Bukhari said the people of Kashmir had already faced what he described as "repeated political betrayals" and now needed clear answers and a concrete roadmap instead of political assurances.
He also questioned the National Conference’s political strategy and the promises made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir—(KNO)
