Hello
After the local body election in December 2020, the BJP and the LDF won eight seats each in the 19-member board of Paivalike panchayat. The IUML won two seats, and the Congress won one.
Friday is observed as Jumu'ah day (day of congregation) in Islam. On this day, Muslims gather in mosques to offer namaz (prayers).
Ramanathapuram MP Kani K Navas will once again contest from the constituency for the IUML.
The IUML can take a decision only after discussing the proposal with party supremo Panakkad Sadik Ali Shihab Thangal.
This may weaken Samastha's hold in the community gradually
He also condemned the central and state governments for allegedly attempting to silence those who are voicing against them.
Thangal received a voice message threatening that he would become wheelchair-bound if he continued to criticise the Muslim League and community leaders.
Police registered a case against him under IPC Section 153 for wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause a riot over this speech.
He also criticised the influence of Wahhabism in the Muslim community.
Backed by her party IUML, Siyasunneesa approached the State Election Commission on October 3, the 15th day from September 18.
