Hyderali Thangal’s son has criticised national general secretary Kunhalikutty over financial mess in party organ
Perhaps for the first time in its history, the following the allegations raised by the son of party State president Panakkad Syed Hyderali Shihab Thangal against its national general secretary and MLA P.K. Kunhalikutty for the alleged financial mess in Chandrika, the party organ. The criticism by Mr. Thangal, who is also Muslim Youth League (MYL) national vice-president, against the powerful and has put the IUML leadership in a spot and it has been unable to take any disciplinary action. Had it been made by any other leader outside the Thangal family, the party leadership without batting an eyelid would have swung into action by now. The statement of acting party State general secretary P.M.A. Salam that action would be taken against Mr. Thangal is easier said than done for various reasons. Such an action would precipitate a political crisis in the party at a time when Mr. Thangal is undergoing treatment for a serious illness at a private hospital in Kozhikode, sources said.More Related News
