The leadership of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, the largest body of traditional Islamic scholars in Kerala, has initiated a firefighting move to forestall any possible split within the organisation over the dominance being exerted by a section that prefers the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) to the Samastha.
Sources close to Samastha State president Syed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal said that he would soon hold a discussion with IUML State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal to address the growing discord within the largest Sunni body.
