Jamaat-e-Islami and RSS two sides of the same coin, accuses Pinarayi

Kerala, October 04, 2013: The CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan launched a frontal attack against the Jamaat-e-Islami on Thursday, equating it with the RSS, and said that the former is working towards the establishment of an Islamic theocratic State just like the RSS was trying for a Hindu theocratic State.

Inaugurating a seminar titled Malabar Muslims and the Left Movement, based on the book with same title by Hussian Randathani, Pina­rayi said the communal agenda of the Jamat-e-Isl­ami will be opposed strongly. The seminar was organised by the CPM in Kannur.

The CPM leader said that members of the Muslim community should remain vigilant about the communal agenda of the Jamaat-e-Islami and other outfits such as the Popular Front of India.

Abdul Rehman, however, had no support from other Congress leaders and the League and only persons like E.M.S. Namboodi­rippad supported him. The seminar was part of a well planned move by the CPM to woo Muslim votes ahead of the forthcoming parliament elections.
