Jammu, Feb 11: Apni Party president, Altaf Bukhari today while speaking in a rally at Bishnah urged the Election Commission of India to hold simultaneous Legislative Assembly and the Parliamentary elections in the Jammu and Kashmir. Bukhari raised this demand while addressing one day workers’ meeting at Bishnah.
He added that the Govt of India says we shall hold Legislative Assembly elections as well as Parliamentary elections together & then, they constituted a committee, but declined later, citing various reasons for elections in other States of the country.
He like other leaders added & demanded holding of Legislative Assembly elections as well as Parliamentary elections together in J&K because the people would get an elected Govt after five years of gap.
He further added that the supreme court has also directed the Govt to hold elections before September 2024 in J&K, but I suspect, they will not end the rule of an unpopular Govt in the erstwhile State
