Vellappally terms IUML a communal outfit in a secular garb

SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan launched a broadside against the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and obliquely attacked its allies in the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) in an editorial in the social organisation’s mouthpiece, Yoga Nadam , on Wednesday. In a signed editorial, Mr. Natesan reiterated his accusation, made ahead of the Assembly election, that the IUML was a “true blue communal party wearing a secular garb”. In what seemed to be an oblique reference to the IUML, Mr. Natesan stated that “divisive forces were gunning for the SNDP Yogam, and the social organisation could ill-afford to remain muted when “political parties in power cradled a communal outfit”.
