Role in Communal Violence
IUML members were found to be involved in communal riots in Marad. The Marad massacre was the killing of eight Hindus by a Muslim mob on 2 May 2003 at the Marad beach of the Kozhikode district, Kerala, India. The Judicial Commission of Inquiry by Justice Thomas P Joseph that probed the incident concluded that Indian Union Muslim League was directly involved in both conspiracy and execution of the massacre.
The commission affirmed "a clear communal conspiracy, with Muslim fundamentalist and terrorist organisations involved". The courts later sentenced 62 Muslims to life imprisonment for committing the massacre in 2009.
The role of Indian Union Muslim Leader P. P. Modieen Koya and Mayin Haji(then Chairman Kozhikode Development Authority) was also highlighted in the report and found them to be aware of the conspiracy before hand.
On 5 August 2012, the State secretary(CPI-M) Pinarayi Vijayan accused Indian Union Muslim League workers (IUML)of causing death to a DYFI activist, at Thachangad during the hartal on 2 August 2012. Though he admitted that it was too premature to comment on the basis of the preliminary report of the post-mortem. Later the post mortom report confirmed the death was due to cardiac arrest.
