JAMMU: Asserting that standing up for the people in Jammu and Kashmir in the time of crisis was paramount, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that his decision to break the five-month-long political logjam in the region was aimed at alleviating the miseries of residents, and not for power.
In an exclusive interview with The News Now, Bukhari-- seen by many as the key force in the future course of Jammu and Kashmir politics-- also denied the existence of a ‘third front’, terming the recent developments as ‘concerned individuals coming together for the sake of UT’.
Reiterating his demands for restoration of Statehood and release of political detainees, the former minister also spoke on the challenge to abrogation of Article 370, his supporters, the ongoing outreach program of Centre, and the assembly elections among a number of issues.
