All Jammu & Kashmir Patriotic Peoples Front, a state political party in Jammu and Kashmir.[1] The group is a pro-Indian faction, linked to the so-called counter-insurgent or paramilitary forces. Their origins lie in the Muslim Mujahedin group (itself a splinter group from Hizb-ul-Mujahedin). The Muslim Mujahedin group was a former islamist guerrilla group that turned themselves in to the government in 1995 and developed cooperation with the Indian army.[2] During 1997–1998, the forces of the Muslim Mujahedin group were demobilized, and the remaining members reorganized as The Patriotic Peoples Front.[2][3]
After 1997, the PPF supported Farooq Abdullah's Jammu & Kashmir National Conference government in Kashmir.[2]
In the Lok Sabha elections of 1999, the leader of PPF, Ghulam Nabi Mir, was a candidate in the constituency of Anantnag district. He received 1,500 votes, or 1.46% of the total, earning him a seat in the Lok Sabha.[4][5] Ghulam Nabi Mir was shot to death outside his residence by Hizbul Mujahideen militants on June 16, 2001[3]
The PPF does not currently have any seats in the assembly of Jammu and Kashmir.[1]
