Kerala CM Defends Waqf Board, Accuses Opposition of Communal Propaganda

The Kerala Chief Minister, V D Satheesan, has accused the Leader of the Opposition, Pinarayi Vijayan, of spreading false information to turn Muslims against the government.

This is about a dispute over who should be on the Waqf Board, which manages Muslim properties.

The Chief Minister says the previous government had already decided to include non-Muslim members, but the opposition claims the current government is making a bad deal with another political party.

The courts are involved, and the Supreme Court has recently made some decisions about the board's powers.
