Kollam(Kerala), Jan 22 (PTI) A long-term CPI(M) Kollam District Committee member on Thursday joined the IUML, a key constituent of the Congress-led UDF opposition in the state.
Suja Chandrababu, who was
a member of the Left party for around 30 years, was inducted into the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) by its state president Panakkad Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal.
Speaking to reporters after joining IUML, she said that the CPI(M) which talks about secularism publicly, does not follow the same within the party.
She said that the IUML was a secular and inclusive party and that is why she joined it.
Chandrababu said that of late she had noticed that the Left party was speaking against the IUML in various public platforms.
She joined the UDF just days after senior CPI(M) leader Aisha Potty joined the Congress. PTI HMP ROH
