Move comes amid UDF's accusation that govt is convening Ayyappa meet to woo Hindu votes
The LDF government's decision to organise the Minorities Sangamam comes at a juncture when the relationship between the CPM and Muslim organisations, which represent the largest minority community in Kerala, is at an all-time low.
The community's sense that the party is toeing a soft-Hindutva line with an eye on the Hindu vote bank is strengthening with each passing day.
The sangamam, scheduled for mid-October, will be conducted under the department for minority welfare with the active involvement of its Minorities Commission and Minorities Development Finance Corporation arms.
Representatives of Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jain and Parsi communities will be invited to the event, expected to involve around 2,000 delegates.
