Pro-India party launched in disputed Kashmir, the first major political development since New Delhi stripped the region of its semi-autonomous status
Former People's Democratic Party leader Altaf Bukhari waves the new party flags during the launch event of a new political party named Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party at his residence, in Srinagar on March 8, 2020.
The Apni Party is headed by Altaf Bukhari, a wealthy former lawmaker from the People’s Democratic Party whose rule was cut short in 2018 when its coalition partner the Bharatiya Janata Party, India's ruling party, withdrew from the regional government. “We are not here to sell dreams or fantasy to our people and instead shall always be pragmatic, honest, and fair in our approach,” said Bukhari.
“Bakshi sahib had a great economic and political vision for Kashmir. We need a similar vision right now,” Bukhari said. The BJP said the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status is final and advised pro-India parties to confine their politics to a demand for statehood. Jammu and Kashmir is held by India and Pakistan in parts and claimed by both in full. A small sliver of Kashmir is also held by China.
