Kerala Muslim forums unhappy with Cabinet composition
The Hindu
They say the composition does not reflect the State’s social diversity and was heavily skewed in favour of Nair and Christian communities
The ostensible balancing act of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the Cabinet composition has not been well-received by several Muslim organisations which felt that the Council of Ministers was heavily skewed in favour of Nair and Christian communities. Also, the Chief Minister’s takeover of the portfolio of Minorities Welfare has not found favour with them. “The Cabinet composition does not reflect the State’s social diversity. In terms of demographic representation, the Muslim community has been sidelined. The Chief Minister taken charge of the portfolio of the Welfare of Minorities buckling under pressure from the Church groups,” Shaikh Muhammad Karakunnu, Assistant Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Kerala chapter, said.
