Jammu | Nov 25
Amidst a mainstream political fluid prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir, the CPI (M) has signaled about formation of a third front which can be a negotiating instrument if not the balancing power in any future ruling formation.
The talk of the third front has already been in the air with some dissidents of Peoples Democratic Party, Transport Minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen and CPM leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami toying with the idea of creating a balancing group ahead of the next assembly elections. It may be mentioned here that the third front had emerged as a powerful grouping after the 2002 elections it was later smartly neutralized by wooing some independent legislators to the Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.
CMP state secretary Tarigami today said that "new platform in the form of third front" would arise in coming elections of the present coalition failed to deliver. He said, "under these condition, Kashmiri people need a new platform -- an issue based forum developed on an autonomous voice. And I will work for giving birth to such a front if coalition ill-performance continues. This is what our people need and aspire for".
He said that formation of a coalition government after 2002 election was taken a panacea of all ills by people, as the coalition government through its common minimum programme has promised a lot to people of Kashmir. "But that is hardly seen on the ground and their (government's) performance on ground level is questionable. If they did come to expectations till elections, then a need will arise to form a third front. In which there will be open invitation to all parties who will be not happy with coalition's performance," he added.
Tarigami also offered an invitation to separatist leadership to join him in his "would be endeavor" so that an era of development and progress can be ushered on people. "I have invited hurriyat leaders as well and I hope that they will join us to forward our mission of progress, peace and development," he added.
Without naming PDP, Tarigami said that those who take their political mileage out the issue of relocating troops from school and hospitals buildings should think that it is not because of them, but because of a routine process, as security situations have now improved in valley. "Relocating of troops from few public buildings is not demilitarization; neither is it a way towards that. Demilitarization and evacuation of troops from public buildings is an issue of all the political parties. But some who think that it is because of them are befooling people. When governor himself says that situations have improved in valley, then what is need of security forces after every step in valley? Relocation of troops is a normal process and this has to go with situation at the ground level," he added. |
