Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) of aligning with communal groups like Jamaat-e-Islami to undermine the communist movement. His remarks prompted Congress to claim he aims to isolate minority organizations to bolster ties with the RSS. Vijayan differentiated IUML as reformist, contrasting it with the revivalist Jamaat-e-Islami.
