IUML Nominates Haris Beeran for Rajya Sabha Seat

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has nominated senior advocate Haris Beeran as its Rajya Sabha candidate from Kerala. Party state chief Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal announced the nomination, following unanimous agreement among senior leaders. Despite some internal dissent, Beeran's extensive legal expertise and leadership roles were highlighted.

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a key ally of the opposition Congress in Kerala, has officially nominated senior advocate Haris Beeran for the Rajya Sabha seat from the state. The announcement was made by IUML state chief Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal in the presence of senior party leaders.

Thangal remarked, 'We have held detailed discussions among our senior leaders, MLAs, and MPs, and have unanimously decided to nominate senior advocate Haris Beeran as the UDF candidate.' This nomination comes despite reports of dissatisfaction from the Youth League regarding Beeran's candidature.

Beeran, a seasoned lawyer practicing at the Supreme Court in New Delhi and the head of the Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) in the national capital, has also been handling cases related to the League in the apex court. Senior IUML leader P K Kunhalikutty confirmed that the UDF has promised two Rajya Sabha seats to the IUML as per the Front agreement.
