Ekbal is a follower of CPI(M) from which he was expelled in 2004 by left-wing hardliners. The reason given was that accepting foreign funds for development activities was against party policy.. But, most believe that the expulsion was due to his criticisms of direction taken by the left movements in his speeches, especially the one at Kerala Social Forum. [http://www.hindu.com/2003/12/22/stories/2003122203390400.htm] ] This speech had kicked up a debate in left-leaning circles in Kerala [http://www.hindu.com/2003/12/28/stories/2003122803860400.htm] ] . His membership was later restored. Fact|date=August 2008
