Srinagar, April 9 Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari on Thursday urged the Centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to fulfill its promises to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
On the Iran-US ceasefire, Bukhari said it should become permanent now.
"The people of Kashmir have chosen the path of peace, as is evident over the past five to six years. I want to remind the honourable prime minister to reciprocate this gesture and fulfill the promises made to the people, especially the youth of Jammu and Kashmir," Bukhari told reporters here.
The former minister said hundreds of people from J-K were languishing in jails without trial.
"They should be brought to justice so that justice is upheld," he added.
Commenting on the National Conference (NC) government in the Union Territory (UT), Bukhari said, "There is confusion whether this government exists or not."
"For the first year, we thought they were still working on the issues, but now 18 months have passed and none of the promises made by that party (National Conference) have been fulfilled," he said.
