Indian Union Muslim League, one of key partners of the Congress-led UDF, said they would raise the issue in the next front meeting.
The alleged "pro-RSS" remarks by KPCC chief K Sudhakaran continued to create ripples in Kerala politics on Tuesday as Indian Union Muslim League, one of key partners of the Congress-led UDF, said they would raise the issue in the next front meeting.
Meanwhile, the ruling CPI(M) charged that the remarks were part of attempts to make truce with the right wing outfit and the BJP.
Amidst mounting criticism from the IUML and the Marxist party, the Congress was forced to announce that it would never dilute or compromise on its secular position and the party would go ahead only upholding Nehruvian ideologies in the southern state.
Responding to the controversy, BJP state president K Surendran, however, said the leaders and activists of the Congress party were "insecure" and Mr Sudhakaran's statements reflected the uncertainty in their minds and feelings.
