Muslim bodies welcome Kerala government move to drop gender-neutral uniform

The Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, the biggest Muslim organisation in Kerala, on Wednesday welcomed the State government’s decision to withdraw from the move to impose ‘gender neutrality’ in classrooms.

Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama State president Syed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal said it was good that the government would not impose gender-neutral uniform and seating positions on school campuses.

The Samastha had planned to launch an awareness campaign through Juma masjids under it against the government’s gender-neutral uniform move. Mr. Thangal said the Samastha would go ahead with its sensitisation programme. “We do not want the community to deviate from a value system it follows,” he said.
