Srinagar, Jun 9: Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party on Tuesday pitched for a united political approach to seek the restoration of statehood and other constitutional rights of Jammu and Kashmir, with party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari urging all stakeholders to set aside political differences and jointly engage with the Centre on issues concerning the future of the Union Territory. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, Bukhari said the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC) had recently met to deliberate on the prevailing political situation, particularly the growing demand for restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. He said the party had observed that some political groups were attempting to derive political mileage from what he termed a serious and sensitive issue.
