"The Muslim League takes sound decisions despite the side they are on. League rectifies the errors made by the Congress when it comes to maters affecting the nation," CPM Central Committee Member AK Balan said.

Motivated by the success of the Uniform Civil Code protesst, the CPM aims to add the Palestine Solidarity Rally to its list of political wins. The rally will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at Sarovaram Trade Centre on November 11.
