Will stand with people of Munambam: CM Pinarayi Vijayan

New Indian Express  

‘No party given right to represent Muslims on Munambam issue’ Satheesan had said the land could not be considered Waqf property on three counts: certain conditions are attached in the original deed, people were living in the area before the land was declared as Waqf’s and certain portions of it were sold. Satheesan is either unaware of the facts or is trying to capitalise on the issue.” The committee squarely blamed the Farook College management for the present crisis. The management will not come forward as it knows its misdeeds will be exposed,” Khader said, adding that the management should be asked to compensate the people who purchased the land to reclaim the Waqf property. “Our sole aim is to protect Waqf properties across Kerala,” Khader said.
