The Congress has cracked the whip on Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) general secretary Aryadan Shoukath for ‘rebel activity’.
It accused him of imperilling party discipline by embroiling in “parallel political activity” outside the organisational ambit by staging a “mutinous factional rally” in Malappuram under the “pretext” of mustering public support for the Palestine cause.
The KPCC concluded that Mr. Shoukath wilfully ignored repeated warnings to abandon the “insurrectionist marshalling of factional loyalists”. It noted that the meeting lacked the Malappuram District Congress Committee’s imprimatur.
