After days of speculation about his imminent plan to resign as chairperson of the Kerala State Wakf Board, senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader T.K. Hamsa has finally called it a day though one and a half years are still left for the completion of his tenure.
Rumours were rife for a while that he would relinquish his post following reported differences of opinion with Minister in charge of Wakf V. Abdurahiman, though both had denied them. M.K. Sakeer, former chairperson of the Kerala Public Service Commission, is believed to be among the frontrunners for the job.
