Expressing his belief that legislative actions are vital to effect change, he said, "AAPI should continue its traditional efforts, as well as work with other organizations for causes of mutual interest."

A leader with deep commitment for AAPI and its members, Jahadirdar said he wants AAPI to be an all inclusive organization that is nurtured by the collective efforts of its members.
