Minister for Waqf and Haj Pilgrimage V. Abdurahiman has said the government intended to go ahead with its plan to entrust the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) with State Waqf Board appointments.
Replying to a question raised by N. Shamsudeen (IUML) in the Assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Abdurahiman said the government will not rescind the legislation that was passed in this regard. However, efforts will be made to allay the concerns that have been raised by certain religious organisations. The government has not yet approached the commission to adopt further steps, he said.
P. Ubaidulla (IUML) alleged the stance contradicted the assurance given by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to the leaders of some Muslim organisation to review the decision. The Opposition will continue its agitation against any attempts to implement the reform, he added.
