Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Indian English 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 Hizbul Mujahideen). 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.[4][5] Ghulam Nabi Mir was shot to death outside his residence by Hizbul Mujahideen militants on 16 June 2001.[3] He had previously escaped a similar attack in 2000.[6]
