Thiruvananthapuram:  Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said the term like 'Narcotic Jihad' should not be coined and suggested that the Central government itself had told Parliament that there is no case of 'Love Jihad' in Kerala.

Addressing the Communist Party of India (Marxist) local committee office in Palakkad through online on Tuesday, Chief Minister slammed Pala Bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt saying that those making public statements should make it after understanding facts.  simultaneously, Vijayan also welcomed the inter-religious meeting of religious leaders held on Monday to instil religious harmony in the state.

The Chief Minister said; "I had earlier itself said that the remark of Pala Bishop was unfortunate. Those holding respected positions like him should have never used words like ' Narcotic Jihad'. Our secular society didn't support it. Nobody was willing to side with it baring a few with a vested interest." Highlighting that the issue of narcotics is a problem being faced by society as a whole, Chief Minister Vijayan said the government is taking all steps to restrain it.
