The Hindu : Kerala / Kattappana News : Pinarayi rejects identity politics
Rejecting the demand for a broad-based discussion on identity politics, the CPI(M) leader said social evils such as untouchability could be removed from the State forever only because of the struggle undertaken by the party on the principle of class struggle. It is not self-identity but class identity that has acted as a catalyst for eradicating social evils and helped society to move towards development.
Denying that there is an ideological conflict in the party, he said the ideology on which the party is rooted still has relevance. Identity politics cannot make society progress on the path of development. And there is no change in the socio-economic aspects on which society moves, he said.
