Samastha's dissenting voice mellows down

IUML makes a bold decision by fielding a woman in Kozhikode South
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) made a historic move by fielding its women’s wing leader Noorbina Rasheed in Kozhikode South. She will be the second Muslim woman to contest an Assembly election on IUML banner in Kerala.
If elected, she will be the first IUML woman legislator in the State.
The party did not consider a woman for the Assembly for the past 25 years since Vanitha League leader Qamarunnisa Anwar was given a chance in Kozhikode II in 1996. Ms. Anwar was the first woman candidate in the IUML’s electoral history, though she conceded defeat to CPI(M) veteran Elamaram Kareem by 8,766 votes.
