JAMMU, May 7: Expressing concern over increasing unemployment in J&K, Apni Party president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari today said joblessness among the educated youth has become a major challenge.
Bukhari was addressing joining programmes at the Party office in Gandhi Nagar where he welcomed dozens of youth and the college students who joined the Party in presence of other senior leaders.
Social activist Parveen Mahajan along with his supporters, Mohd Yaqoob, Vikas Thappa, Aman Kumar and others joined Apni Party. While welcoming the new entrants into the Party, Bukhari hoped that their joining would strengthen the Party at the grass root level.
The joining programme was organized by provincial secretary/district president Jammu urban, Dr Rohit Gupta. The college student’s joining programme was organized by Ravinder Koul, Archana Kaul and Suhail Khajuria.
“Apni Party has emerged as hope among the hopeless youth of Jammu and Kashmir. The people in large numbers, especially youth, have come forward and joined Apni Party due to the Party’s policies and agenda of equitable development of all regions and politics of speaking truth to the people,” Bukhari said, adding, this policy has won the confidence of the people as they are fed-up with the traditional political parties and their emotional sloganeering.
Referring to the increasing unemployment, he said that “J&K has lakhs of post graduates who are still unemployed and the Government has not been able to provide them jobs. It is time for the youth to elect a Government which can address their growing issues of joblessness.”
“The unemployment has emerged as one of the major issues and the Government must take a serious view over the issue,” he said and added that “Apni Party is committed to the creation of job opportunities for the unemployed youth.”
