IUML and UDF are surrendering to Jamaat-e-Islami & SDPI: Pinarayi
The New Indian Express Kochi|January 06, 2025
IN A scathing attack on the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and the UDF, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday asserted that the coalition has stooped to a level where its decisions are deeply influenced by external communal forces such as the Jamaat-e-Islami and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).

He was inaugurating a public meeting held as part of the conclusion of the CPM Kottayam district conference at Pampady, Kottayam.

The UDF can take decisions only after satisfying these organisations, Pinarayi said.

"The IUML has gradually become subservient to Jamaat-e-Islami and SDPI, despite the rejection of these factions by the majority of Muslims." This, he warned, could lead to further interference in the party's affairs by Jamaat and SDPI.
