The National League of India (INL) has started in the Indian Union Muslim League (Iil) on its opposition to the WAQF (amendment) law, questioning its credibility in the light of aligned attempts to usurp the WAQF property in Kannuramba.

The university, he said, was initially directed by leaders of the apolitical community, but over time, the control of Tok IIuml, gradually filling the University Government Committee with its affiliates.

The assumption that 22 acres, originally owned by a James mosque that pays taxes and leased the university for 99 years, had an effective leg appropriate by the CDMEA controlled by English. “The amount of the lease was raised from ₹ 3000 in 2004 to ₹ 3 Lakh after public pressure,” he said, added that the association had illegally transferred the WAQF Earth title to its own name.
