THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM announced on Sunday the expulsion of two party activists, Allan Shuhaib and Twaha Fazal, arrested last November under the UAPA for their alleged Maoist links.

“The expulsion decision was reported by the district secretary in the state committee meeting on Saturday. They were indulging in Maoist activities while being party members,” party state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said.

This is the first time CPM officially declared that the two students are Maoists.
