Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 4: Chances are high that PDP patron Muzaffar Hussain Beigh may lead from the front and float an alternative political group, the main objective of which is going to be the restoration of statehood and inclusion of residents of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 371.
Sources privy to this development divulged to Early Times that the situation is all set to take a drastic turn with senior as well as the middle rung members of various political groups are going to come together and float a third front. Muzaffar Beigh, as per the speculations is going to be a galvanising force in the entire development, taking a centre stage to steer the ship himself. "The main point of focus is going o be the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir that was downgraded to a mere union territory. There will also be a stern demand for the protection of the people of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 371.
The several leaders of Congress, NC and the PDP have already started parleys and you will witness a major development in near future," sources divulged.
Earlier, this year, there were speculations earlier rife that Beigh who has been one of the founding members of the PDP will join PC and announce its departure from PDP in which he spent around 19 years since 1999.
Beigh last year in December last year had said that he was sidelined even when PDP and BJP stitched a common ground after the 2014 polls threw a fragmented mandate in the state.
After around three months of deliberations, PDP formed alliance with the BJP and signed agenda of alliance that both the parties termed as a 'guiding principle' of running a coalition government in the state. "I was completely sidelined. On December 28, 2014, Mufti sahib in the presence of Mehbooba Ji had told me to get a document prepared for my preliminary negotiations with BJP. On January 1st, 2015,I was told by Mehbooba Ji that I should stay back and some other person had been chosen to speak to BJP. I don't know why they did so, but yes, I was sidelined, therefore I don't have any knowledge about the terms and conditions of the engagement with BJP," Beigh was quoted as having said in an interview.
Castigating the party's approach over burying its self rule document for Kashmir issue resolution, Beigh had said that the document would now look obsolete. "PDP's self rule now looked like an obsolete document as the idea was never going to be possible unless Hurriyat and Pakistan accepted it," Beigh said.
Beigh also slammed the PDP's ministers for leaving the party president- Mehbooba Mufti- alone during her tough time. He stated that soon after she took over the reins of power in the state, she was engulfed by the 2016 agitation and that none of her party ministers provided her any sort of emotional and moral support.
