Indian National League (INL) is an Indian political party formed in 1994 under the leadership of the then IUML leader Ebrahim Sulaiman Sait. The party is currently a member of the CPI(M)-led LDF in Kerala. INL leader Ahamed Devarkovil, former MLA from Kozhikode South Constituency, served as a minister in the Second Pinarayi Vijayan ministry.
PMA Salam was the first INL candidate to get elected to the Kerala Assembly (2006). INL was formally inducted into the LDF in the late 2010s.
History
- Indian National League was formed as a reaction to the continued alliance of IUML with INC post Babri Masjid Demolition.
