His remarks come amid allegations by dissident MLA P V Anvar, accusing CPI(M) members of non-secular behavior. Vijayan assured that strict action would be taken against those involved in gold smuggling and hawala transactions.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan reiterated the ruling CPI(M) party's commitment to opposing all forms of communalism during a public address on Tuesday.

The statement comes in response to recent allegations by dissident MLA P V Anvar, who claimed that certain CPI(M) leaders were moving closer to the RSS and accused them of non-secular behavior. Anvar has also alleged irregularities in the handling of gold smuggling and hawala cases.
