| Now, demand in Kashmir for unity against 'third front' | | Kashmir's changing political scene | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 2: A sense of insecurity has gripped Kashmiri people. Radical among them have, it seems, come to the conclusion that certain forces within and outside Kashmir have ganged up against Kashmir and Kashmiri people and it was time for the Kashmir's premier organization National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which was founded by late Mufti Sayeed and his daughter and former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti in 1999, to join hands and fight elections together to defeat the anti-Kashmir forces.
What have alarmed these people are the reports on the otherwise non-existent "Third Front" and recent political developments in the state.
"The non-state parties like BJP want multiple fronts in Kashmir so that no regional party gets clear majority in elections," they have said, and added that earlier the BJP had talked about a "Hindu chief minister in the Muslim majority J&K State". "If BJP had got the required number of seats in 2014, it would not have wasted a minute in making some Hindu from Jammu Chief Minister of the state," they have asserted.
"Third Front will be political suicide for Kashmir. People of Kashmir know the reason why some independent legislators do not join the mainstream parties. Instead of fighting elections separately, regional parties must form a pre-poll alliance. The NC and the PDP are under obligation to save Kashmir from further deterioration. They must join hands in future elections and all Third Front conspiracies, which are aimed at divide and rule policy in Kashmir, must be defeated by tooth and nail. Once they get the majority, the government must weed out the communal bases in the state and ban these organizations," the votaries of unity between the NC and the PDP have said. |
