MALAPPURAM: Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar came down heavily on women partaking in the protests staged against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Like men, women should not clench fists nor shout slogans, said Kanthapuram. He added that women should not take to the streets like men to protest. But both sections of Samastha should unite for the fight against CAA. The Syro Malabar Church's claim that Love Jihad is in Kerala is false. Unity should not fall before those breaking it, he said in an interview given to a private channel.

Kanthapuram came to the fore criticising women's agitation in various parts of the country against the CAA. Kanthapuram AP faction Sunnis, sympathisers of Left, participated in the human trafficking organized by the CPM the other day along with various sections of the Muslim community. Along with them, the EK faction of the Muslim League, Sunni leaders and Mujaheed were part of the human chain.
