Srinagar, Aug 12: Syed Altaf Bukhari is widely recognized as a prominent political figure, but those who know him personally often speak of a different side—a man whose humility and kindness leave a lasting impression. Beyond his public persona, Bukhari is a person who genuinely cares for the people around him. Whether interacting with colleagues, supporters, or even strangers, he exhibits a warmth that sets him apart from many in the political arena.
In my short period with the party, I have observed him engaging in welfare work that goes above and beyond expectations. He is deeply committed to his religion and faith.
Within the party, Bukhari’s leadership style is marked by a rare blend of authority and approachability. He treats his party members not just as colleagues but as family, often going out of his way to ensure they feel valued and heard. He speaks the truth even when it is not necessary. It’s not uncommon for members to describe their interactions with him as akin to a fatherly relationship—he listens, advises, and supports, much like a parent guiding their children.
This nurturing approach has fostered a unique environment within the party, where members feel more connected and motivated, knowing they are led by someone who genuinely has their best interests at heart. His ability to balance political acumen with personal kindness is a testament to the kind of leader he is—one who understands that true leadership is not just about power but about the people he serves.
