Kozhikode: Sources close to CPM hinted that action will be taken against Kozhikode district secretariat member George M Thomas for his 'Love Jihad' remark on the interfaith marriage of DYFI leader Shejin in Kodencherry. CPM district secretary P Mohanan told Mathrubhumi News that the party leadership would decide upon taking action against George M Thomas. 

"Adults have the legal right to marry and live in this country. However, they should have amicably held talks with the family about marriage. The party had already dismissed the opinion of George M Thomas that this was a case of Love Jihad," he said.

The Kozhikode district secretariat, which met on Monday, had decided to hear the opinion of the state leadership over taking action against George M Thomas. The state leadership will clear its stance on Tuesday.
