We want to unite the two regions of Jammu and Kashmir and bring all sections of society together,” he said.

While addressing the gathering, Usman Majid, State General Secretary of Apni Party, said that LG rule cannot be an alternative to the democratic Govt.
“To end the suffering of the people, holding of Assembly elections in J&K is a must and the statehood should be restored as early as possible,” he said.

In his address, Provincial President, Jammu, S Manjit Singh demanded that 90 percent local youth should be observed in the industrial sector in J&K.
