Welcoming them into the Party, Ghulam Hassan Mir said that the joining of intellectuals of Jammu indicates that people have accepted that there is no place for emotional and divisive politics.
“They want politics of truth and not the politics of emotional sloganeering and division of people on the name of region and religion,” said Mir.
He said the Apni Party believes in the politics of unity and not the division of society.
“The politics of division has created problems for both the regions. Time has come when people from both the regions should support each other,” he said.
In his address, General Secretary Vijay Bakaya welcomed the retired Medical Superintendent and National Conference leader and hoped that their joining will help in the strengthening of the Party.
General Secretary, Vikram Malhotra, speaking on the occasion, said that the joining of intellectuals indicates the party’s agenda and policies being accepted by the people in Jammu.
“The people are attracted towards the developmental policies of the Apni Party.

He said the Apni Party believes in unity and equality.
Speaking on the occasion, Provincial President, Manjit Singh said that the BJP has lost its ground due to its hollow slogans and divisive politics. “People are suffering because of price rise of essential commodities, petrol, diesel, and gas prices,” he said.

Besides, other leaders also spoke on the occasion. Prominent among the active members of Apni Party include Raj Sharma, Janmeet Singh Bali, Kulwant Singh, and others.
