Muslim organisations warn of intensive agitation
A meeting of Muslim organisations here on Monday called on the State Government to withdraw its decision to leave the Waqf Board appointments to the Public Service Commission (PSC).
The meeting of the organisations chaired by Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader and chairman of the Muslim leadership committee Panakkad Sadikhali Shihab Thangal warned the Government of intensive agitation if the Government refused to revoke the decision.
Mr. Thangal told a press conference after the meeting that the controversial decision was against the Waqf Act of the Central Government. The Waqf Board was vested with the authority to make the recruitments, he said adding that the board was constituted for the protection of Waqf properties.
