INL sever ties with LDF; to support UDF Kannur: Snapping its nearly two-decade-long ties with LDF in Kerala, the Indian National League, a splinter group of IUML, Thursday decided to join hands with the Opposition UDF led by Congress ahead of the coming local body polls. "We have decided to sever ties with the Left Democratic Front as the ruling alliance kept on sidelining us over the years. We will now support the United Democratic Front in the coming civic body polls in the State," INL General Secretary Sulaiman Khalid Sait said after the party’s state Council meeting near here. A splinter group of Indian Union Muslim League, the INL had electoral ties with the LDF without being partner of the Front after the outfit was floated by late Ibrahim Sulaiman Sait protesting over IUML continuing ties with the Congress after the 1992 Babri mosque demolition. Sulaiman is son of the late Ibrahim Sulaiman Sait. The INL, whose lone MLA P M A Salam got elected from Kozhikode with LDF support in the 2006 polls, has decided to entrust the six-member party Parliamentary Board to work out details of joining hands with the opposition front. "It was a unanimous decision and my late father had expressed wish to be back in the UDF in Kerala," Sait said. He alleged that the CPM had accommodated smaller fractions into the ruling alliance despite INL extending unconditional support for years. The civic body polls are likely in September. Back |
