Malhotra said that the youth are fed-up with the emotional slogans.
“They want employment and good education. For a good future in J&K, the elected Government must be in place,” said Malhotra and appealed to the Government of India to hold assembly polls in J&K as early as possible.

He targeted BJP and Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) have again tried to create mistrust among the people of two regions and Apni Party will not allow their ulterior political motive to succeed.
