Traditional political parties deceived ST community: Bukhari

Stating that Apni Party will put an end to divisive politics, Bukhari urged the activists hailing from ST community to bolden their voice by supporting Apni Party for a cause.
It is evident from the track record of traditional political parties that they have only exploited people with emotive slogans, remarked Bukhari.

Bukhari said that Apni Party is committed for equitable development of all the Regions of J&K and the ST community without any discrimination. Political parties like Congress, National Conference, PDP and BJP have misled the people without any mercy.
He said that the people trusted waited for decades that the assurances of these political parties will become reality but today seeing the political alienation people feel, it is loud and clear that the traditional political parties have lost ground.
He appealed the people to take up the baton of politics of transparency and honesty and also urged the new entrants to work for the welfare of downtrodden and the destitute.
