THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Action has been taken against a Muslim League leader for calling on BJP state general secretary Sobha Surendran, who is on an indefinite fast in front of the Secretariat demanding withdrawal of prohibitory orders at Sabarimala. The Muslim League decided to take action against Muhammed Haji, Kasargod Mangalpadi panchayat third ward league president, after his picture with Sobha Surendran goes viral. He met her on the concluding day of the yuvajana yatra organised by the youth league. Action was taken after a section of the league activists complained to the leadership against the picture.

Leaders B K Yousuf and Muhammed Anchikatta from Mangalpadi panchayat called on Sobha Surendran. A controversy sparked after somebody posted the picture in the social media.
