Former IAS officer Shah Faesal on Sunday launched his new political party "Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement" in Srinagar and promised for 'corruption-free, clean and transparent' politics in state.
"I welcome the people of Jammu and Kashmir who have came here to attend this rally. At first, I thought I will join any prominent political party of Kashmir valley, but their reaction towards me was very negative. So, I decided to launch my own political party which will be a new platform for Kashmir valley's youth."
"Our party will work for the peaceful resolution of Kashmir as per the wishes of the people living here. We will fight with forces intent to divide Jammu and Kashmir on the basis of religion. We will represent Kashmir's youth. We will work for the health sector will finish corruption from the state," Shah Faesal said on the party launch event in Srinagar.
"Those who were ready to accommodate me in their political parties, by denying them and their offers, they are now saying, I am an agent of RSS and BJP," added the former civil servant.
