THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM leader MA Baby said that SDPI and Campus Front are religious extremist groups. He made this remark in a Facebook post he shared today on the day of martyrdom of Abhimanyu, who was a student of Maharaja's College. Abhimanyu was assassinated on the morning of July 2, 2018 by the SDPI-Campus Front religious extremist group. Three years after Abhimanyu's death, we must remember the lesson of taking a strong stand against all forms of communalism. According to the CPM leader's post, the expansion of activities of minority communal and extremist groups such as the SDPI / Popular Front provides an opportunity for the RSS and Sangh Parivar to justify their violence.
Earlier, the news that the SDPI had given 10,000 votes to CPM candidate had caused a lot of controversy as the CPM claimed that it was taking a strong stand against communal organizations. SDPI supported the LDF on the basis prevent the BJP from winning in Nemom. SDPI Thiruvananthapuram district president Siyad Kandala told mediapersons that all parties had requested them for votes.
