Reportedly kerala chief minister and veteran Marxist leader Pinarayi Vijayan intensified his attack on the congress, alleging that its general secretary, priyanka gandhi Vadra, is contesting the wayanad Lok Sabha by-election with the backing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In a facebook post on Thursday, Vijayan claimed that by-election in wayanad has “exposed the congress party’s secular mask completely." “Priyanka gandhi is running as a candidate there with the backing of Jamaat-e-Islami. So, what exactly is Congress’s stance? Our country is not unfamiliar with Jamaat-e-Islami. Does that organisation’s ideology align with democratic values?," he asked.
Meanwhile when stating that Jamaat-e-Islami does not value the nation or its democracy and disregards the nation’s governance structure, Vijayan said the organisation was operating under the guise of political involvement through the Welfare Party, and this facade was evident in Jammu and Kashmir. The chief minister alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami had long opposed elections in kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir, promoting strong sectarian positions.

Moreover referring to the recent elections for the kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir Assembly, Vijayan claimed that Jamaat-e-Islami planned to contest three or four seats there, ultimately focusing on the seat where CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami was standing. He said the Jamaat-e-Islami in wayanad claims they are different from the Jamaat-e-Islami in Kashmir. He said “However, the ideology remains the same one that does not accept any form of democratic governance. This time, they feel like supporting the Congress-led UDF".
