Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Sunday criticised the CPI(M) for what he termed the party’s attempts to politicise the Ayodhya temple consecration.
The Congress party has not been invited to the event. Only a few individuals have been invited. The party will take a decision on the invitation. The CPI (M) was attempting to create confusion and reap political benefit out of it. The CPI(M) was following the footsteps of the BJP to create a wedge in the society over the issue, Mr. Satheesan alleged.
The leadership of the Indian Union Muslim League, including its State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal and .K. Kunhalikutty, responded to the controversy with great caution to protect the social fabric of the State, he said.
