Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) Malappuram district general secretary P. Abdul Hameed, MLA, has been nominated to the director board of the Kerala State Co-operative Bank, now named Kerala Bank. Mr. Hameed, a veteran in the cooperative banking sector, confirmed his nomination and said he was happy to be part of Kerala Bank.
The IUML leadership gave its consent and expressed its happiness at the nomination. It was not the first time that an IUML representative was nominated to a State cooperative body under the Left Democratic Front (LDF) rule in Kerala. Mr. Hameed was nominated from Malappuram when the State Cooperative Bank was reconstituted under the ministership of Pinarayi Vijayan in 1996-97.
Mr. Hameed said that his party was cooperating with everyone in the cooperative sector irrespective of the party or front in governance.
