Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan told the Assembly on Wednesday that the government would not leave Waqf Board appointments to the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Replying to a submission moved by IUML leader P. K. Kunhalikutty, Mr. Vijayan said, “The government would amend the rules to protect existing Waqf Board employees. It would also introduce a new recruitment policy for the board to protect the interests of all stakeholders.”
The IUML had campaigned hard against PSC intervention in Waqf recruitments and caused a stir by allegedly threatening to take its protest to mosques during Friday prayers.
