Uprooting Dynastic Parties NC & PDP Is No Less Than A Jihad For Them: Altaf Bukhari

SRINAGAR, Feb 3: President of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party Altaf Bukhari stated on Saturday that for them, overthrowing dynastic parties like the Peoples Democratic Party and the National Conference is equivalent to waging a jihad. Eight months after Articles 370 and 35A were repealed, Bukhari, who established the Apni Party, expressed optimism that the people will overthrow political parties like the NC and PDP in the next elections. "I hope that in the next elections, the people would remove the PDP and NC from office. In Srinagar, he told reporters, "For us to uproot the two parties is no less a Jihad." According to the president of the Apni Party, these two parties have put J&K residents in danger."The leaders of these two political parties, not children, delivered the slogans of 'autonomy' and'self-rule.'" The predicament that people are in right now is the result of these two parties, he declared. People would vote against the NC and PDP in the next elections, according to Bukhari, because of what they have done over the previous 70 years. In order to give J&K's young a dignified living, he made a plea to the public to support the Apni Party. Bukhari, a former PDP member, served as a minister in the PDP-BJP government.According to the president of the Apni Party, Jammu and Kashmir's population of over 20 crore Muslims may live in harmony within the Union of India. He pleaded with Amit Shah, the home minister, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to grant the people of Jammu and Kashmir all legal rights.

White Knight Corps Commander visits Poonch sector after fresh snowfall in Pirpanjal Mountains Range

POONCH: Lt. Gen. Navin Sachdeva, the commander of the White Knight Corps, visited advanced sites in the Poonch sector on Saturday and assessed the operational readiness of the units there, amid recent heavy snowfall in the Pirpanjal Mountains Range. According to the White Knight Corps of the Indian Army, Lt. Gen. Sachdeva urged every rank to be alert and stand firm in the face of any difficulties. The Mughal Road, which links the Kashmir Valley with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, saw the start of snow removal activities on Saturday. Furthermore, Kralpora Keran Road in the Kupwara area of J&K has reopened as 109 RCC Beacon cleaned the snow following the significant snowfall.Earlier on Friday, there was more snowfall in the Pirpanjal region, which made the farmers and tourists happy. The upper regions of the mountains in Rajouri District saw snowfall following a protracted dry spell, while the lower areas got much-needed rains. Farmers in the horticultural and agricultural sectors have been much relieved by the snowfall, as the precipitation is anticipated to be advantageous for crops. Nevertheless, the happiness was tempered by difficulties, as a heavy layer of snow covered the entire Pirpanchal hills in the Poonch area as well as the Mughal road track. The last seven days saw the closure of the Mughal Road due to the severe snowfall that hindered the mobility of both locals and tourists. The residents are pushing visitors to come and take in the picturesque splendour of the snow-covered environment despite the difficulties caused by road closures.
