CPM adds communal tinge to political murders: PFI

KANNUR: The Popular Front of India (PFI), a confederation of Muslim organizations including the NDF, on Wednesday lambasted the CPM, alleging that the party has been trying to carry out its communal agenda in state, like the RSS in Malabar.
State general secretary of PFI P Abdul Hameed alleged that CPM tried to communalize the murder of both Muhammed Fazal in Thalassery and RMP leader T P Chandrasekharan in Onchiyam."The party (CPM) tried to implicate RSS in the Fazal murder case, and tried a similar ploy against Muslim groups in the TP murder case. As a political party, the CPM should return to its original agenda of fighting imperialist forces," he said.
He said that nearly 3,500 activists will take part in the final leg of the month-long campaign against the communal agenda of CPM. The campaign will end on June 29 at Thalassery.
Hameed also denied reports of conversions taking place in the state. He was referring to the incident of a Hindu girl deposing before the Kerala high court that 30 girls were being given religious lessons at an institute in Manjeri with an aim to convert them into Islam.
Following the girl's statement, a high court division bench had sent the girl, who had eloped with a Muslim boy, to Shanthiniketan hostel in Kochi, where she has been provided police protection till the next hearing.
