P.P. Shaijal, who regained his position as State vice president of the Muslim Students’ Federation (MSF) following a recent court order, has alleged that the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) is in the clutches of a group of three, who have been manipulating the party based on their whims and fancies.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, the student leader alleged that everyone who ever supported the sexual harassment charges pressed by former leaders of Haritha, the women’s wing of MSF, against its president P.K. Navas, were being targeted by the party leadership and were being expelled one by one.
“They want only their puppets in the party leadership, be it in MSF, Youth League, or IUML itself. Leaders with credibility, qualifications, and public approval are not accommodated and are frozen in unimportant positions,” he said, clearly naming IUML Malappuram district president Syed Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal, P.K. Kunhalikkutty, MLA, and acting State secretary P.M.A. Salam as the “trio” and claimed that the party was on the path of destruction under them.
