KOZHIKODE: Two days after Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said that UDF 's Wayanad candidate Priyanka Gandhi was contesting with the support of Jamaat-e-Islami and asked Congress to spell out its stand on the matter, the grand old party is yet to respond.
Vijayan was referring to Welfare Party of India 's (WPI is the political arm of Jamaat-e-Islami) announcement that it will back UDF in all three bypolls in the state, including Wayanad.
Addressing a campaign for LDF candidate Sathyan Mokeri at Edavanna, Vijayan said Jamaat-e-Islami was an outfit that did not attach any importance to India or the democratic system as it stood for "bringing the world under Islamic rule."
The Kerala CM cited J&K where he said Jamaat-e-Islami followed an extremely communal stand and opposed elections. Vijayan alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami supported BJP in the recent assembly polls in J&K. Extremist elements were trying to exert their influence using Jamaat-e-Islami, Vijayan added.
Earlier, at Kalpetta, Vijayan said no one should have any doubts about Wayanad rehabilitation package as govt would implement measures in a comprehensive manner.
The Kerala chief minister said the govt will set up a township for landslide-affected families with all necessary common facilities in a modern society. " The govt will not abandon anyone," Vijayan added.
He said the state govt was still hopeful of receiving central aid to rehabilitate landslide victims and also reminded that the state had bad experiences in the past as promised aid was not provided then.
