Kerala Government Reconstitutes Waqf Board, Appoints IUML Leader Mayin Haji Chairman
The Kerala government has reconstituted the State Waqf Board, dissolving the previous board less than seven months after its formation. Indian Union Muslim League leader M C Mayin Haji was appointed chairman, with a new nine-member committee formed. The reconstitution occurred amid ongoing legal challenges and protests over amendments to the Waqf law. Notably, the new board excludes representatives from the A P Sunni faction, while including members from the Mujahid faction. Appointment of two non-Muslim members is pending Supreme Court verdict.
