THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: At a time when the debate over Pala bishop’s ‘narcotic jihad’ remark is heating up, a note prepared by the CPM ahead of the party conferences has warned that there is a conscious attempt to lure educated women, especially those in the professional colleges in the state, into the path of terrorism.
In the note prepared by the party, to be sent to all the branch committees, it has been said that “efforts are being made to lure the youth into communalism and extremism.”
Meanwhile, party sources said that the note had nothing to do with the controversial remark made by the Pala bishop. They said the note was prepared well before the bishop made such a remark. The party issued caution in the note titled ‘Minority Communalism’ prepared for its leaders in connection with the inaugural address at the branch and local committee conferences.
“The activities of the Sangh Parivar have created insecurity among the minorities. Extremists are trying to infiltrate all Muslim organizations and create problems. The Jamaat-e-Islami, which works for the Islamic State, is also making a conscious effort to lure young people into communalism and extremist activities when it comes to spreading its ideological roots in the Muslim community and the general public,” it said.
It also said that a small section of the Christian community, which is generally not subservient to communal ideologies, is also engaging in such activities and that there are conscious attempts to turn the Christian community against the Muslim community.
The party has asked its cadres to be very careful on these developments and have a proper discussion in the party forums on how effectively the party can involve in ending such extremist activities. The party has also said that there is a move by certain extremist groups in the state supporting the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
