Malappuram: The IUML, in a letter, urged Rahul Gandhi not to step down as the president of the Congress party. In a review meeting convened in Kozhikode, the IUML said that the thumbing victory of the UDF in the Lok Sabha polls is a befitting reply to the BJP and CPM, who made political advantage from Sabarimala issue. The IUML chose their leader and Malappuram MP PK Kunhalikutty as the parliamentary party leader.
