Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) district president Sayed Sadikali Shihab Thangal here on Monday countered Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s remarks against the party, saying that no other party had given representation to women as much as the IUML.
“The IUML has more than 2,000 women representatives in local bodies. There’s hardly any other party that gave so much consideration for women than the IUML. There is no gender discrimination within the party,” he said.
Mr. Thangal, who holds charge of the party’s State president as his elder brother Sayed Hyderali Shihab Thangal has been unwell, was responding to Mr. Vijayan’s oblique reference to the IUML blaming it for gender indiscrimination in the light of a recent controversy over Haritha, the women student wing of the party.
