The Left front is not averse to helping the Congress fight the Sangh Parivar where it is “relatively weak,” Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Wednesday.
“There are places where the Left front is relatively weak. In such places, we are not adamant that we will not help the Congress tackle the Sangh Parivar,” Mr. Vijayan said while replying to the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the Governor’s policy address in the Assembly.
Mr. Vijayan, however, drew attention to the dangers of abandoning Nehruvian secularism in favour of soft Hindutva. By insisting on visiting a temple in Assam on Pran Prathista day, what message did Congress leader Rahul Gandhi intend to send across, Mr. Vijayan asked.
