Speaking to the media, senior IUML legislator P.K. Kunhalikutty said it was the Left government which came out with the order and they are now spreading canards that it was the UDF government in 2015 which decided on this.
The Kerala High Court on Friday quashed State Government Orders, sub-classifying the minorities by providing merit-cum-means scholarship at 80 per cent to Muslim community and 20 per cent to Latin Catholic Christians and Converted Christians, saying it cannot be legally sustained.

Indian Union Muslim League organising secretary E.T. Mohammed Basheer, MP, has urged the State government to move the Supreme Court against an order of the Kerala High Court quashing the State government awarding 80% of the minority scholarships to Muslims.
Reacting to the verdict, Mr. Basheer said the State government had already adopted a stand on the issue and that it had also filed an affidavit in the High Court approving the subclassification of the minorities by providing scholarship at 80% to Muslims and 20% to Latin Catholics and converted Christians.
“So it will not be a problem. However, the court has not gone through the background of the Paloli Mohammed Kutty Commission report that was constituted to implement the recommendations of the Justice Rajinder Sachar Committee set up to look into the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community,” he said.
