A conciliatory parley proposed between the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, the largest body of traditional Islamic clerics in the State known as Samastha, did not take place here on Friday, as the former reportedly ignored it.
IUML State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal, who was to chair over the conciliation talks with a four-member team of Sunni scholars suggested by the Samastha Mushawara (high-command), is learned to have gone abroad, ignoring the scheduled meeting.
The IUML is learned to have expressed its unhappiness over the Samastha making Mukkam Ummer Faizy, a Mushawara member known for his anti-IUML stance, the leader of the conciliation team.
