Finally, CPI(M) accepts Islamic terrorists as a threat

Wednesday, 18 September 2024 | PNS | KOCHI

The CPI(M) has declared that Kerala has become a recruiting hub of terrorists for the Islamic State, a dreaded extremist organization. The statement was made by P Jayarajan, the State Committee member of the CPI(M) and described as one of the three strong leaders from Kannur district, the other two being E P Jayarajan Nambiyar and M V Jayarajan.

“Many operatives of SIMI and Popular Front of India (two banned extremist outfits) have managed to infiltrate into the party and facilitating the recruitment of indoctrinated youth to the IS. Kannur leads the table in this massive operation,” said Jayarajan on Monday.

Interestingly, the media in the State, allegedly under the payroll of Islamic terrorist organizations have blacked out Jayarajan’s statement. Adding fuel to fire, Jayarajan disclosed the statistics associated with the recruitment of youths from the State to the IS.

“There is an increase in Islamic extremism across the world. Many youths from the districts of Kannur and Kasaragod have made it to the IS through the recruitment drive undertaken by SIMI and PFI, two leading religious fundamentalist organizations,” said Jayarajan.

Interestingly, V S Achuthanandan, former chief minister of Kerala, while addressing a press meet in New Delhi in 2010 had said that various Islamic outfits like SIMI and PFI were resorting to “money and marriages” to make Kerala an Islamic republic. The Congress had termed the statement as dangerous and deplorable while a section of the CPI(M) leadership had lambasted Achuthanandan for the reported statement.

The Muslim League and other Islamist organizations in the State played their cards well and saw to it that Achuthanandan was kept away from the corridors of power for his stance against Love Jihad. It is an open secret in Kerala that Islamic fundamentalists have an upper hand in the CPI(M) and Congress. A CPI(M) leader who misbehaved with Prof Vijayalakshmi of Kerala University was made a Rajya Sabha member since it was not possible for the party to ensure his success in the election. Though the police issued a look out notice for him, this leader is seen in the forefront of all TV debates as well as discussions in Rajya Sabha, cocking a snook at law.

Right now, two Islamists P V Anwar MLA who is supporting the LDF and K T Jaleel, former higher education  minister are hogging limelight by attacking police officers who do not toe their line of thinking. Jaleel was the president of the banned  SIMI while Anwar is a party hopper having served the people through Congress and Musim League before reaching the CPI(M)-led LDF.

The recent verbal attacks unleashed by Anwar on additional director general of police (ADGP) M R Ajit Kumar, P Sasi, political secretary to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and E P Jayarajan, the ousted LDF convener are all being seen as the Islamists tightening their grip on the CPI(M).  A former Rajya Sabha member from Kerala is the unofficial link between the CPI(M) and the Jamaat-e-Islami. Anwar and Jaleel were on record attacking Ajit Kumar for the latter’s meeting with Dattatreya Hassabole, the RSS general secretary.  All these have cost the CPI(M) support from its traditional voters, the Hindus.
