Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on March 6 (Wednesday) sought to project Kerala as an island of secularism in a turbulent sea of religious intolerance, sectarian violence and communal unrest.
Mr. Vijayan was speaking at a politically significant interaction with Muslim community representatives ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Heads of influential Muslim social organisations, members of Mohalla committees, imams, students and teachers from madrasas, and religious preachers participated in the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s Muslim outreach programme, titled INSAF, at the Kerala Legislative Assembly complex in Thiruvananthapuram.
