Kozhikode, August 12: Popular Front of India, whose activists allegedly chopped off the right hand of a lecturer for preparing a ‘defamatory’ question paper, today charged CPI(M)-led LDF government of adopting a ‘soft Hindutva’ approach after losing support of Muslims and Christians.
Nazaruddin Elamaram, PFI state president said this change in approach followed the “failure” in administration and loss of support from Christians and Muslims.
“CPI(M) has begun appeasing Hindutva fascism after LDF constituents Kerala Congress (Joseph) and Indian National League walked out of the front and minority communities distanced themselves away from CPI(M)”, he alleged.
Elamaram said CPI(M) General secretary Prakash Karat’s reported statement that there was nothing communal in the action of BJP-ruled Karnataka government against PDP leader Abdul Nasar Madhani was an indication of setting up a CPI(M)-BJP alliance.
He also flayed police raids at the offices of PFI across Kerala.
