Muslim League turning into terror group: CPI (M)

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala Opposition on Monday unleashed a scathing attack against the Congress and Muslim League, the lead parties of the ruling UDF coalition, for communalizing politics and causing administrative standstill in the State.


While the CPI (M) alleged that the Muslim League was turning into a terror outfit, the BJP accused the Congress of succumbing to League’s arrogance.


Referring to the pressures exerted by the Muslim League for making the Congress agree to its demand for a fifth Cabinet post, Kerala CPI(M) secretary Pinarayi Vijayan said in Thiruvananthapuram, “The League had held the Congress at the knife-point for this… The Muslim League is slowly turning into a terror outfit.”


“The Muslim League leadership is incapable of preventing terror elements from infiltrating into that party. Moreover, the League leadership is adopting a stance that justifies these elements,” Pinarayi said while inaugurating an agitation programme of Kerala Karshaka Sangham, a feeder outfit of the CPI(M).


Pinarayi said that the Muslim League’s pressure on Chief Minister Oommen Chandy was so intense in the issue of the fifth Cabinet berth that he had to force the Congress high command (“through talks with Sonia Gandhi and AK Antony”) revise the earlier decision of the central leadership and the State Congress unit not to agree to the League demand.
