THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Youth League general secretary P K Firoz, who has raised nepotism allegations against the minister said that Jaleel's explanation in the issue is not satisfactory. Firoz had also said that the Youth will stage protests until Jaleel resigns from his post.
"The minister should not think that appointing someone to Minority Board is just like appointing someone to his personal staff. A clearance report is required from the vigilance. Jaleel claim that Adeeb was appointed as there were no other suitable candidates. If that is true, Jaleel should reveal the qualifications of the other seven candidates", said Firoz.
"Jaleel has alleged that I am raising the allegations because there are several muslim league activists who had taken loans from the minority board and never repaid. Strict action should be taken against such people", he added.
