Srinagar, May 5: Apni Party president Syed Muhammad Altaf Bukhari on Tuesday accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah-led National Conference of using “emotional blackmail” over Article 370 and 35A to deceive people in the recent elections.
The Apni Party chief said while accusing the National Conference (NC): “Did you see the recent elections? They voted on the emotional blackmail of 370 and 35A. They said they would give one lakh jobs, 200 units of free electricity, and increase ration by 10 kg per person. But it was all a lie. Whatever they told the people was a lie,” he said.
The Apni Party chief alleged that regional parties have consistently “abused Delhi” to garner votes. “Delhi needs Jammu and Kashmir. But if Delhi does not respect our young people, we do not need Delhi. We need a Delhi where our elders are respected,” he said.
Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari said, “Our party and Altaf Bukhari’s politics are based on truth. We do not deceive people,” he asserted. (KNS)
