Kerala Political Leaders Debate Reconstitution of State Waqf Board Amid Legal Challenges
Former Higher Education Minister K.T. Jaleel accused the UDF and IUML of supporting BJP interests by pushing to reconstitute the Kerala State Waqf Board before the Supreme Court rules on related petitions. He praised the current Board's efforts to reclaim encroached properties. Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan denied claims that the government agreed to appoint non-Muslims to the Board, stating it asked the High Court to reject the petition. CPI(M) leader P. Rajeeve contested Satheesan's statements, citing official court records. The issue reflects tensions within Kerala's political and minority communities over the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
