The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has expressed its displeasure and angst at a caustic reference made by Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran about IUML organising secretary E.T. Mohammed Basheer, MP.
Mr. Sudhakaran, while responding to Mr. Basheer’s statement that the IUML, if invited, would be happy to take part in a Palestine solidarity rally being taken out by the CPI(M) in Kozhikode on November 11, had said that “one need not start barking from now just because they want to become a dog in their next life.”
Addressing the media here on Friday, IUML State general secretary P.M.A. Salam said those holding responsible positions should behave responsibly and use words carefully. “We have repeatedly told them [to be careful]. The Congress and the United Democratic Front (UDF) leaderships should examine the circumstances in which he [Mr. Sudhakaran] used such words,” said Mr. Salam.
