Anvar praises Stalin, says DMK 'most secular', takes a dig at CM Pinarayi
The Morning Standard
|October 07, 2024
SEEKING to put the CPM on further defensive, MLA PV Anvar tried to juxtapose the 'principled and strong anti-Sangh Parivar stand' of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu with the 'clandestine deal' between the CPM and the BJP in Kerala.
Addressing a public meeting in Manjeri on Sunday, the Nilambur MLA, who fell out with the CPM recently, said the DMK did everything to block the attempts of the BJP to win at least one seat from Tamil Nadu.
He said the party gave its sure seat at Dindigul to the CPM and took the Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency when it was known that the BJP was eyeing the seat. "DMK is the most secular and democratic force in the country. I had gone to meet the party leaders in Chennai.
Where else can I go? Should I go to the RSS headquarters? If I had gone there (RSS centre), the government would have given me full support," he said.
