Muslim United Front
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Muslim_United_Front
The Muslim United Front (MUF) was a 'polyglot coalition' of Islamic Kashmiri political parties that contested the 1987 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Jamaat-e-Islami of Jammu and Kashmir was a key constituent party of the coalition. The MUF won four Assembly seats in the 1987 election. However, widespread rigging of the election by the ruling National Conference party was reported. In the absence of such rigging, commentators believe that it could have won fifteen to twenty seats, a contention admitted by the National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah.

The disaffection caused by the election gave rise to the Kashmir insurgency, which continues to this day. The present day Hurriyat Conference is largely inspired by the former MUF coalition.
