As you all are aware, I joined the Apni Party approximately one year ago, and eight nine months ago, I was detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA). Today, after a considerable period, I am addressing the media to announce my decision to leave the Apni Party due to personal reasons. I hold the Party President in high esteem and have immense respect for his humble demeanor. My best wishes and prayers will always be with him. I also urge and suggest to the youth that they should actively participate in mainstream politics, as it is the most effective means of bringing about societal and national improvement. Better governance can lead to a brighter future, and I firmly believe that the youth should not distance themselves from mainstream politics. My decision to step down from the Apni Party was a personal one, necessitated by certain personal issues. I will strive to continue serving society as a social and political activist. As you may be aware, I was released from Kathua jail just last week, where I was detained under the PSA. Today, I humbly submit a request to the Central Government. There are numerous young individuals detained under the PSA in various jails, many of whom desire to live peaceful lives. I respectfully request that they be given a chance. Their families are suffering,
and I also appeal to the youth not to be misled or exploited in any way. Any act or statement that portrays you as someone who disrupts communal harmony or makes statements that are not legally justifiable will only lead to increased suffering for you and those around you. We should strive to be part of the solution and betterment, rather than unknowingly contributing to the problem and deterioration.
here unfortunately politicians merely use the issue of political detainees for their own gain. No political party has genuinely supported the lives of these young individuals in jail. I urge the Central Government to kindly provide an opportunity to all these young people. Countless families will remain eternally grateful for this act of kindness.
