  "account": "Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar, a Sunni leader, has stated that he will defend the Shariat laws \"no matter whoever opposes it.\" This assertion was made during an International Milad Conference organized by the Markaz and the Kerala Muslim Jamaath on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Musliar also announced that Shariat conferences would be held in all districts to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama. He asserted that discussions about Islamic laws would persist until the end of time. This declaration follows Musliar's previous comment that women should remain confined to their homes, which drew significant criticism, including from Keralam Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. The most recent statement is regarded as a defense of his earlier remark.",
  "summary": "Mr. Musliar also said that Shariat conferences would be organised in all districts to mark the centenary of the Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama. He claimed that there would be people who would talk about the Islamic laws till the end of the world.",
