THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM to adopt the example of the strong protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act in its campaign against the Uniform Civil Code. CPM is of the opinion that the campaign program conducted by the Chief Minister against the Citizenship Amendment Act has increased the credibility of the party and the front among the Muslim religious minorities in Malabar districts. This was a factor behind getting 99 seats in the last assembly elections

CPM state committee meeting suggested that there should be an intervention that paves the way for maximum gains in the Lok Sabha elections. The Kozhikode seminar will be the first step in this. Although the party is in the lead, the campaign will try to give a public forum character. The announcement that all like-minded people except communalists will participate in the ceremony is a part of this.

The AP Sunni faction led by Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musliyar has been supporting the Left Front and the CPM for some time now. In the developments after the last assembly elections, the Samastha faction, which is affiliated with the Muslim League, also showed its distance from the League. The fact that the Chief Minister took Samastha into confidence and prepared to discuss the bill to leave Waqf Board appointments to the PSC became a problem for the Muslim League, which tried to organize a general agitation by Muslim organizations against the same.
The League leadership has been dominating the Muslim ranks for ages by spreading propaganda locally that the CPM is anti-religious and atheistic but the CPM reversed it by expanding the experiment of dissembling the League dissidents. With the anti-Citizenship Amendment movement, acceptance increased in the Muslim sector. The CPM also sees left-wing swings among a section of the League members. The attempt to gain the credibility of the Muslim masses without attacking the League is to take advantage of this. It will be a setback for the CPM if they fail to win back at least some constituencies in the Malabar region in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. However, there are forebodings about Rahul Gandhi's candidature in Wayanad. Due to this, the campaign that Congress has no position on the issue of the Uniform Civil Code is intensifying.
