Kamarunnisa Anwar who was widely regarded as a
firebrand and progressive woman leader of Kerala has now been removed from
IUML. She was the president of the Women’s Wing of the party and has been
working really hard to garner support of women from all sections of society.
She had recently made a controversial statement that BJP is rising and she
would like to wish the party to keep growing in Kerala and outside and help
people. She had also donated a token money of Rs. 2000 to the BJP. The male
dominated regressive IUML couldn’t digest this fact that a leader of her party
is openly praising the Hindutva group and hence issued the suspension order
with immediate effort.
Profile of Kamarunnisa Anwar
Kamarunnisa Anwar is always known for taking the
cause of women in public. In 2016, she had openly criticized her own party for
not fielding a single women candidate. That was a valid criticism seeing the
level of literacy among Kerala Muslim women. Few months back, she was publicly
humiliated in a party function when male leaders didn’t allow her to speak
saying that a Muslim woman should not speak in a gathering of men. That was
definitely ridiculous and regressive position held by a prominent Muslim party
of India.
Kamarunnisa was also peeved because her party was
not taking any stand on the issue of triple talaq. She has strong faith in the
equality and wants to see a society where both male and female enjoy the same
rights and privileges. It is said that her open praise and encouragement to the
BJP was a protest against her party on the issue of triple talaq.
It should be noted that Ms. Anwar had clarified and
expressed regret over her comments. However, the party feels it necessary to
sack her to give a strong message.
