A day after getting elected as the Mayor of Srinagar Muncipal Corporation (SMC), Junaid Mattoo joined the Apni Party on Friday.

The Apni Party was launched by Altaf Bukhari, a former minister in the PDP-BJP government, after the abrogation of Article 370 in August last year. Mattoo had been removed as the Mayor of the Srinagar Muncipal Corporation in June 2020 after he lost a no-confidence motion moved against him.

Mattoo was a member of the Sajad Lone-led People’s Conference (PC). Later, he quit the PC in 2013 to join the National Conference (NC) and became the party spokesperson. He quit the NC and rejoined the PC in 2018. “The Apni Party has come as a breath of fresh air and is the only credible alternative to the politics of exploitation heralded by the traditional parties,” Mattoo said. While welcoming Mattoo into the party, Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari said their endeavour would be to make Srinagar a world-class city. — IANS
