π’ INL dismisses controversy over Kanthapuram's advice
The Indian National League (INL) stated that the current controversy surrounding the circular from Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama is unnecessary. This advisory, issued by Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar, urged women to avoid certain interactions during Islamic celebrations. On Sunday, August 30, 2026, INL State general secretary Kasim Irikkur defended the remarks as religious guidance for the community. He clarified that the caution aimed to prevent moral deviations influenced by modern liberal thinking. The INL asserted that Kanthapuram Aboobacker Musliar has a constitutional right to express these views.
