Former Union Minister M Veerappa Moily has said Kerala has set an example in keeping communal organisations at a safe distance. He was speaking at the valedictory function of the eighth K Karunakaran memorial programme organised by the K Karunakaran Foundation on Sunday.
He said Karunakaran played a major role in keeping the communal organisations at bay and added he was a leader who never mixed religion with politics. The reason for the communal forces not being able to make inroads in the state is because of the political stand taken by Karunakaran, the senior Congress leader said.
