Satheesan on November 7, 2023 met top leaders of Congress ally Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and accused the Left party of using the Palestine issue to reap political gains.
Mr. Satheesan met with the IUML leaders at the residence of its State president Sayyid Sadik Ali Shihab Thangal at Panakkad in Malappuram district.
After the meeting, the Leader of the Opposition met reporters and accused the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala of trying to lure away members of its alliance as the Left party allegedly was not confident in its own strength and abilities.
Mr. Satheesan also alleged that the CPI(M) was trying to use the Palestine issue for political gains and were not interested in the main cause.
Meanwhile, senior Congress leader and former Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala called the ruling Left front in the Kerala "a sinking ship" and questioned who would want to board it.
The two Congress leaders were responding to the recent overtures on the part of CPI(M) towards Congress ally IUML and party leader Aryadan Shoukath.
