Kozhikode: The joint meeting of Muslim organizations held in Kozhikode
decided to organize agitation against the negative approach of the
government towards languages such as Arabic, Urdu and Sanskrit. The
meeting was convened by Muslim League state president Panakkad Syed
Hyderali Shihab Thangal.

The government direction that only two languages should be taught in
the newly-allowed 178 higher secondary schools and the abolition of
many examinations for language teachers which had been conducted for
years were counted as examples for the anti-language policies of the
government.

The LDF government is again following the anti-language policy which
had led to the Malappuram firing earlier, said Muslim League general
secretary PK Kunhalikkutty. Three people namely Majeed, Rahman and
Kunhippa were shot dead in early 1980s when the police fired at a
procession of the Muslim Youth League demanding protection of
languages such as Arabic.

The meeting, presided over by Panakkad Syed Hyderali Shihab Thangal,
was inaugurated by PK Kunhalikkutty. MP Abdussamad Samadani, Dr MK
Muneer, KPA Majeed, PV Abdul Vahab (Muslim League), Cherusseri
Sainudheen Musliyar, Kottumala TM Bappu Musliyar (Samastha), VM Koya
(Sunni Vidyabhyasa Board), AP Abdul Qader Moulvi, Dr M Abdul Azeez
(KNM), Dr EK Ahmed Kutty, K Aboobaker Moulvi (Nadvathul Mujahideen),
Kadakkal Abdul Azeez Moulvi (Dakshin Kerala Jamiyathul Ulema), Dr PM
Fasal Gafoor, CT Sakkeer Hussain (MES), TK Abdul Kareem, Engr P Mammad
Koya (MSS), K Moin Kutty, A Muhammed, KK Abdul Jabbar (KATF) etc took
part in the meeting representing different organisations.
