Sunni Groups Criticize Kerala Waqf Board Reconstitution Over Representation
The reconstitution of Kerala's State Waqf Board has drawn criticism from Sunni Muslim groups, particularly the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama factions. Leaders argue their exclusion is unfair given their significant role in managing Waqf properties, religious, and educational institutions. They allege political motives behind the decision to include other factions like Mujahid and Jamaat-e-Islami. The Kerala Muslim Jamaath plans protests demanding fair representation and transparency, emphasizing their stewardship of the majority of Waqf assets in the state.
