No change in stand, says Kantapuram 'Always ready for unity of the Sunni organisations' 'No proposal for Sunni unity from Muslim League' Court formed to deal with family, Wakf issues KOZHIKODE: Kantapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, general secretary of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, has said that the organisation's stance is to support those candidates who are useful for the country. Mr. Kantapuram was talking to reporters after a meeting of the supreme council of the Ulama here on Saturday. He said there was no change in the political stand of the organisation. Political affiliation When asked whether that meant supporting the LDF as had been done last time, he said it did not necessary mean that. "Samastha does not support any political party. It will take a stand as and when the time comes," he said. Mr. Kantapuram said his organisation was always ready for unity of the Sunni organisations. The organisation had a non-political stand on the issue. "Unity does not mean merger." Unity proposal His organisation had put forward a unity proposal that retained the existing Sunni organisations and institutions. Replying to a question, he said he did not so far receive any proposal either orally or written from Muslim League State president Panakkad Syed Mohammedali Shihab Thangal for Sunni unity. A Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama Maslahath Court was formed for finding a solution to the marriage, divorce, family and Wakf issues as per the guidelines of the Constitution and Islamic Shariat. A seven-member Supreme Council, comprising Ulama president Sayyid Abdurahiman Albukhari Ullal as chairman and Mr. Kantapuram as general secretary, was elected to the court. An 11-member committee with A.P. Muhammed Musliyar as convener was also elected for the conduct of the court. source : http://www.hindu.com/2009/02/01/stories/2009020152330300.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "newsline" group.
