Will try to live up to expectations: Noorbina

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) candidate for the Kozhikode South Assembly constituency Noorbina Rashid has said that she will strive to live up to the expectations the party has placed on her. Speaking to The Hindu here on Friday soon after her candidature was announced, Ms. Rashid said that Vanitha League, the women’s wing of IUML, had not exerted any pressure on the party to field a woman. Instead, it was a decision made by party leaders voluntarily. “I am thankful to the party for this opportunity,” she said.
