Monday, July 18, 2011: The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has decided to stick to its demand for a fifth slot in the Oommen Chandy Cabinet, but resolved to put the controversy over its choice of the Vice-Chancellorship of the University of Calicut behind it by withdrawing its original nominee.
The State secretariat of the IUML, which met on Sunday, had decided to remain firm on its demand for a fifth Ministerial berth in the government, but without setting any time limit for achieving the party’s demand. The party secretariat left it to the Chief Minister and the United Democratic Front (UDF) leadership to take a final decision on the matter.
The IUML demand also got a boost with Kerala Congress (M) chairman and Finance Minister KM. Mani telling reporters in New Delhi on Sunday that his party had no objection to the IUML being given an additional Cabinet berth.
