Surprisingly the bogey of vote division is not an issue any more. The Peace Party has taken the initiative and is part of Lok Kranti Morcha (LKM) headed by Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Ajit Singh which includes six small parties like Quami Ekta Dal headed by Mafiosi turned politician Mukhtar Ansari MLA.



“These Muslim-based political parties need to have a vision. If they have to carry forward Muslim politics they need to be open to ideas and coalition. It has to be borne in mind that they are effective in pockets only,” said Jilani. Echoing same sentiment, SQR Ilyas of WPI also states that his group is open to talks but not with national parties.



However, RUC chief Amir Rashadi has other ideas. “We can go for tie-up but leadership has to be with us. We are not in a hurry and will proceed with caution,” he said. http://www.dailypioneer.com/342183/Musli...-vote.html
