Muslim League is not a communal party, had worked together before; says CPI(M) State Secretary MV Govindan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPI(M) State Secretary, MV Govindan, said that his party has never told that Muslim League is communal party. We can join hands with anyone in the fight against communalism, but that doesn’t mean that it is a political alliance.

MV Govindan said that Muslim League is a party working on democratic lines and that the communist party have worked alongside League during the time of seven-party alliance.

MV Govindan also said that there are no cases, currently, against Saji Cheriyan. The action against Saji Cheriyan was taken on the basis of the court’s verdict. The party will examine and decide on taking back Saji Cheriyan into the Cabinet, said MV Govindan after the state secretariat meeting.

Meanwhile, Saji Cheriyan responded that his future will be decided by the party. While speaking to the media, the former minister said that the court’s verdict on the plea against him is good and that he is happy about it.
