"This seminar is the first program organized by CPM on Uniform Civil Code. This is not the program of the Left Front. Jayarajan's name was not on the notice. But CPM will organize seminars and programs in all districts where leaders including EP Jayarajan will participate. Jayarajan himself should be asked why he did not attend the Kozhikode seminar,' said MV Govindan.
