History
edit- Indian National League was formed as a reaction to the continued alliance of IUML with INC post Babri Masjid Demolition.[2][1]
- Opposition raised by several CPIM leaders, who saw the National League as a communal party, ensured that the National League had to stay outside the LDF for over two decades (1994 - 2018).[2]
- The Indian National League mostly allied with the CPIM unofficially in certain seats in the various Kerala Assembly elections between 1994 and 2018.[2]
- Indian National League was associated with the UDF briefly in 2010-11.[3]
- A group under leadership of Abdul Wahab left INL and formed his own party ''National League''
