Indian National League

The Indian National League (INL) is a Muslim-based political party in India, mainly active in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. INL is a splinter-group of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). The party was formed on April 23, 1994 when Ibrahim Sulaiman Sait was expelled from IUML. Consisting of over 700 delegates, especially invited in view of their eminent stature in society, from over 14 states converged in the Indian capital of New Delhi for the Indian Muslim political convention. This truly representative body resolved to adopt the recommendations of a high powered committee, consisting of 25 eminent leaders to launch a new secular, democratic and national party, named Indian National League. This political party will be open to all citizens of India who sincerely adhere to the constitutional creed of secularism. The unity and integrity of India, the rule of law, and equal respect to people belonging to different religions, classes, back grounds, regions, languages, and identities. The primary thrust of policies of the party would be to protect and preserve the identity, dignity, life, and property of all Indians especially the underprivileged. The party will take strong efforts towards drawing individuals, from all levels of society, into the national mainstream towards fuller participation in the process of national rebuilding and reconciliation. This secular party will fearlessly fight against bigoted and communal forces and will not tolerate the desecration of any temple, mosque, gurudwara, or church nor will it permit interference in the personal faith or religious affairs of any community.
