Altaf Bukhari says NC will bear responsibility for any demographic shift in J&K

Altaf Bukhari, a senior figure in the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, told reporters that the party would be responsible for any demographic alteration in the region. His remarks were published in Kashmir Life and reflect ongoing political sensitivities surrounding population trends in the union territory.
The statement comes amid heightened scrutiny of demographic data in Jammu and Kashmir, where changes in population composition have long been a contentious issue between political parties and the central government. Bukhari’s comment underscores the NC’s willingness to be held answerable for policies that could affect the demographic balance.
No official response from the central government or other regional parties has been recorded at the time of reporting. The claim adds another layer to the political discourse ahead of upcoming electoral contests in the area.
