Kannur: The participation of Muslim League leaders at the Iftar meet and the reception organised for BJP national vice president AP Abdullakutty created controversies. The Iftar feast was organised at the residence of AIKMCC leader Aziz Maniyoor. 

The Iftar party was allegedly arranged to give reception to Abdullakutty following his selection as chairman of the central hajj committee. KMCC leader and all India president AK Noushad, Kannur district secretary of Muslim League KP Tahir, and Samastha leader CKK Maniyoor were also present at the party. Muslim League had given directions to its members and leaders not to attend the reception of Abdullakutty at the Chamber hall. 

Meanwhile, KP Tahir alleged that the Iftar meet organised for personal interests have been twisted as a reception for Abdullakutty. Tahir added that he had participated in the party as it was hosted by Aziz, a relative of him.
