Keralam CM demands apology from CPI(M) for “seeking to demonise” Muslim-majority Malappuram district
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has called for an apology from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) after it allegedly used divisive language against the Muslim‑majority district of Malappuram. Vijayan said the CPI(M) had adopted tactics similar to those used by right‑wing Hindu nationalist groups, targeting minority communities. The CM’s remarks highlight rising tensions over communal rhetoric in the state.
