Samastha resents Hakeem Faizy’s reinstatement as CIC secretary

The Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama is not happy with the reinstatement of Abdul Hakeem Faizy Adrisseri as secretary of the Coordination of Islamic Colleges (CIC). They had a meeting expressing their displeasure, while also engaging in talks with the CIC. The Samastha had issues with Mr. Faizy’s progressive views and had severed ties with the CIC previously. Despite attempts at reconciliation, the CIC re-elected Mr. Faizy as secretary, causing further friction. The presence of Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal and his family in key positions added to the complexity. The Samastha leadership is facing a dilemma in this situation.
