Addressing the gathering, Neelam Gupta expressed gratitude to the new entrants for reposing faith in the Apni Party and said their joining was significant because young people are increasingly looking for a political platform that gives greater importance to public service, credibility and delivery of genuine commitments.
She attributed the growing support for the party to the honest and trustworthy politics pursued by Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, saying that his approach has helped create confidence among different sections of society.
“People are looking for politics that is based on truth, trust and honest commitments rather than political rhetoric. The increasing participation of youth in the Apni Party reflects their faith in the leadership of Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari and the party’s commitment to remain connected with the people,” Gupta said.
She maintained that the Apni Party believes that politics should be an instrument of public service rather than personal ambition, and urged the new entrants to carry the same message to their respective localities.
Gupta advised the youths to work with honesty, sincerity and dedication, remain accessible to residents and raise issues concerning their neighbourhoods in a constructive manner. She said that joining a political organisation also brings a responsibility to understand people’s problems and work consistently for their resolution.
“Serving people with sincerity is the foremost motive of the Apni Party. Our workers must remain among the people, listen to their concerns and stand with them in difficult times. Honesty, dedication and public service must remain the hallmark of our political conduct,” she said.
She further said that the participation of young people would strengthen the party’s grassroots presence and provide greater momentum to its efforts to connect with residents at the local level.The new entrants expressed their willingness to actively work for strengthening the Apni Party in their respective areas and contribute towards its public outreach programmes.
