Indian National League (INL) is an Indian political party formed in 1994 under the leadership of the then IUML leader Ebrahim Sulaiman Sait. [1] The party is currently a member of the CPIM-led LDF in Kerala. [1] Indian National League leader Ahamed Devarkovil, Member of the Legislative Assembly from Kozhikode South Constituency, serves as a minister in the Second Pinarayi Vijayan ministry.

P. M. A. Salam was the first National League candidate to get elected to the Kerala Assembly (2006). [2] Indian National League was formally inducted into the LDF in the late 2010s. [2] [3]

History

  • Indian National League was formed as a reaction to the continued alliance of IUML with INC post Babri Masjid Demolition. [2] [1]
  • Opposition raised by several CPIM leaders, who saw the National League as a communal party, ensured that the National League had to stay outside the LDF for over two decades (1994 - 2018). [2]
  • The Indian National League mostly allied with the CPIM unofficially in certain seats in the various Kerala Assembly elections between 1994 and 2018. [2]
  • Indian National League was associated with the UDF briefly in 2010-11. [3]

Controversies

  • It was alleged that INL had 'sold' the post of the member of KPSC for Rs 40 lakh. [2]
