NC yet to fulfil its poll promises: Altaf Bukhari

Bandipora, Jul 5: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday criticised the ruling National Conference (NC) for failing to fulfil promises made to people during assembly elections.

Bukhari was talking to media persons on the sidelines of Pani Party workers’ one day convention here. “If we talk about the promises made by the National Conference during elections, I do not think they have even started to work on them,” he said.

Flanked by Apni Party leaders Imtiyaz Parry and Syed Shafat Kazmi, district president Bandipora, Bukhari said that for the last eight to nine months, people are still waiting for those promises to materialise. He also requested the NC government to declare a holiday on July 13 (Martyrs’ Day), calling it a “very important day” in Kashmir’s history.“Do they require permission from Delhi even for this,” he said.
