Peace Party splits,rebels form outfit

Accusing the Peace Party of playing in the hands of communal forces,some of its members Sunday broke away from the outfit,which had grabbed a sizable chunk of Muslim votes in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls,and formed Rashtriya Peace Party RPP.

Abdul Rahman Ansari,who has been named president of RPP,said the party would soon take over Peace Party which is playing in hands of communal parties. The president of Peace Party,Dr Ayub,has been inducting those with criminal background and giving them tickets ignoring devoted party workers, he said.
