A rumoured secret meeting between leaders of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) in Malappuram recently has provoked a sharp reaction from the Left Democratic Front (LDF).
The State Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) Kodiyeri Balakrishnan slammed the clandestine conference as a pitiful attempt on the part of the United Democratic Front (UDF) to play the communal card in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
