Srinagar, August 27: In a solemn and heartfelt announcement, former Mayor and prominent Apni Party leader Junaid Azim Mattu has declared his resignation from the party. Mattu expressed deep appreciation for the partyโs President, Syed Muhammad Altaf Bukhari, and his colleagues, extending his best wishes for their future.
Mattu’s decision follows a profound reflection during his Hajj pilgrimage earlier this year, where he pledged to align his political actions with his personal principles.
After extensive discussions with his supporters, Mattu concluded that his values no longer align with the party’s ideology, making it impossible for him to continue as a party member or candidate.
He acknowledged the challenges ahead, stating that his future efforts will be dedicated to truth and conviction, guided by his faith. Mattu assured his loyal supporters of his unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, despite the difficulties it may bring.
A formal media briefing will be held in the coming days where Mattu will share his future plans and address any questions.
