‘CM only trying to create divisions in UDF’ The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on Sunday strived to fend off the accusation that it had attempted to supplant Congress as the dominant partner in the United Democratic Front (IUML). IUML general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty said his party would not fall for Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's ploy to create divisions in the UDF. The IUML had decided not to get drawn into the internal mechanics of the Congress. Moreover, it would restrict its view on the workings of alliance partners strictly within the confines of the UDF. In a Facebook post, IUML Malappuram district secretary Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal said his party had always strived to keep the Congress in the front. It had never aspired to usurp the position of the Congress in the UDF.
