THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister Muhammad Riyas has responded to the issue in which senior Congress leader AK Antony’s son joined BJP. In his Facebook post, Riyas criticized that more workers will join BJP like Anil Antony if they continue to have anti-Marxist behaviour.

He stated that the CPM and the left won’t be happy with people joining from Congress to BJP. “CPM’s stance is not to weaken the secularity. AK Antony expressed the pain he felt on this issue. Anil Antony’s action affects not only Antony but all the secular minds as well. The anti-Marxist attitude of Congress is making them close to BJP.”, wrote the minister.
