CPI(M) hits out at Anand Sharma for his comments on Abbas Siddiqui’s Indian Secular Front

How come the Congress has no reservation in allying with the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) in Kerala but has problem with an alliance with newly formed party of chief patron of Furfura Sharif Abbas Siddiqui, the Indian Secular Front (ISF), CPI (M) leader Mohammed Salim asked reacting to the senior Congress leader Anand Sharma’s comments. Stirring controversy, Mr. Sharma, who is also part of the Congress dissidents group that is popularly referred to as G-23, in a tweet on Monday said, “Congress’ alliance with parties like ISF and other such forces militates against the core ideology of the party and Gandhian and Nehruvian secularism, which forms the soul of the party. These issues need to be approved by the CWC.”
