Condolence messages poured in from all corners as Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) chairman and State president Sayed Hyderali Shihab Thangal passed away on Sunday.
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said Thangal had won the respect and love of people both inside and outside the State for his affable behavior and commitment to communal amity.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan expressed his grief saying that Thangal had maintained an exceptional personal rapport even while being at the other end of the political spectrum. He said Thangal represented calmness in politics. “He laid thrust on communal amity.”
