The Apni Party senior vice president observed that the DDC elections have completed the third tier of Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Raj Act which means the establishment of a grassroots level democratic set for an overall development of the people.
“There were certain vested interests who never wanted decentralization of powers and were happy in keeping the people politically disempowered. But times have changed and the people have now shown that they have a deep urge and commitment for democratic process aimed at their empowerment,” he added. Mir said that the Apni Party is committed to fulfill its promises like restoration of Statehood and protection of peoples’ rights on their land and jobs in Jammu and Kashmir.
“No stone will be left unturned to achieve these goals. We are thankful to the People of J&K who have reposed their trust and confidence in our agenda and commitment towards public welfare,” Mir averred.
