Gender-equality controversy may prove to be a thorn in UDF’s side

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Despite Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan denouncing Muslim League state general secretary P M A Salam’s remarks on gender equality, there is a sullen silence within the UDF, with many front partners unwilling to invite the ire of the powerful League.
