Kerala Sunni Faction Ends Protests Following Waqf Board Representation Assurances
The Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar faction of the Sunni scholars' forum has called off protests against the reconstitution of Kerala's State Waqf Board after assurances from the government. Minister N. Samsudheen stated that while not all groups could be represented due to limited posts, the faction will have a nominee on the board. Those excluded may be accommodated in other committees related to minority welfare and Haj. The Kerala High Court approved the reconstituted board despite legal challenges.
