The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has stepped away from remarks made by Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) state general secretary P M A Salam, regarding gender equality.
Salam had controversially questioned the equality of men and women, likening the assertion to closing one's eyes to darkness, a statement that did not sit well with the opposition.
Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, V D Satheesan, clarified that Salam's views were personal and not reflective of the UDF's position, reaffirming their commitment to gender justice and equality.
