Accuses LDF of stoking Islamophobia, says it will only benefit BJP most
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has made a concerted pitch to counter what its leaders described as “demonisation” of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
The party reportedly felt the Left Democratic Front s (LDF) bid to stir prejudice against the IUML to polarise voters on religious lines had fallen on receptive ears, especially among the Christian community in central and south Kerala.
The Islamophobic propaganda reflected in the erosion of traditional UDF votes in the local body polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had also electorally benefited from the bogey of radical Islam raised by the LDF.
