KOZHIKODE: Adding fuel to the ongoing gender equality controversy among the Muslim outfits, Muslim Educational Society (MES) state president Dr Fazal Gafoor on Sunday said Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar was giving stick to Sangh Parivar to beat Muslims.
Kanthapuram had said on Saturday that the calls for gender equality were aimed at destroying Islam.
“Being a progressive organisation MES can’t approve such statements and the Muslim outfits should be up in arms against Kanthapuram on such views. Not only the Hindu fundamentalism but the Muslim fundamentalism also prevents the social development of the country. It’s time to resist such undesirable trends,” Gafoor said. Referring to the allegation that children have been abused at madrassas, Gafoor said the authorities of madrassas should depute an enquiry committee to find out the facts and address such issues.
