IUML creates history, inducts two women in national leadership

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) created history by inducting two women to its national leadership. One of the women represents the Dalit community.

The decision is termed historic as it marks the first time in India’s 75 years of independence that women will play a



major role in the organisation.

Jayanthi Rajan, a Dalit leader from Kerala’s Wayanad, and Fathima Muzaffer, a corporation councillor from Tamil Nadu, were selected as national assistant secretaries in IUML’s national committee at a party event held in Chennai on May 15.
