Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama president Syed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal and secretary K. Alikutty Musliar resigned from the advisory committees of the Coordination of Islamic Colleges (CIC) on Tuesday night, triggering yet another wave of controversies between the Samastha and the CIC.
Thangal quit his membership of the CIC advisory board when Mr. Alikutty Musliar resigned as chairman of the CIC examination board. Both of them expressed discontent at the functioning of the CIC under its new leadership.
Samastha leaders had been clamouring for the resignation of Abdul Hakeem Faizy Adrissery as the CIC secretary for long. Although Mr. Faizy had tendered his resignation to CIC president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal a few weeks ago, it was not accepted until last week.
