Samastha prez: Beware of attempts to create rift

Malappuram: No one should fall into the trap of those trying to create a rift in relations between Samast Kerala Gem-Iyathul Ulama and other organisations, Samast President Syed Jiffiri Muthukoya Thangal said on Sunday.

He was speaking at the concluding ceremony of the five-day annual conference of Jamia Nuria Arabia in Pattikkad. During the programme, 572 students of Jamia achieved the status of ‘Faizi’. “Samastha will maintain ties with some organisations. Some people are trying to create divisions in these relationships. Therefore, it is important for us not to fall into such a trap.”

Addressing the Jamia students, Jifri Thangal urged them to focus on strengthening unity within the community. “I want to tell one thing to the scholars. Avoid contributing to any division within the community. Instead, let us focus on initiatives that enhance community unity,” he said.
