Satheesan clarified that the UDF cannot take responsibility for the meeting.

“As far as the UDF is concerned, Anwar is a closed chapter. No one will be allowed to question the pride of the UDF”, VD Satheesan said.

Meanwhile, KPCC President Sunny Joseph responded that even though Rahul was not assigned to meet Anwar, there was nothing wrong in personally meeting him. 

Regarding Anwar’s entry into the UDF, Sunny Joseph said that there is no such thing as a ‘permanently closed door’ in politics.

Meanwhile, Rahul Mankoottathil clarified that he met Anwar on a personal level and highlighted that Anwar fought against ‘Pinarayism’. 

The CPM has taken up the issue seriously.

LDF candidate M Swaraj also alleged that the Congress’s double-stance has been exposed through the meeting.
