Policy platform
The party describes itself as being "of the commoners, by the commoners, and for the commoners". One of its stated objective is to work for the full restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.[9] The party also believes that government jobs in Jammu and Kashmir should be reserved for long standing residents of the region.[10] It wants members of the displaced Kashmiri Hindu community to be able to safely return to their homes in the Kashmir Valley.[11] The party opposes dynastic politics.[5]
