Hajj Minister of CPI(M) Govt in Kerala will be on a trip to the US with public money for his treatment

Editorial comment

This is the right punishment for the people of Kerala for electing such Ministers who spend public revenue (received as taxes) for their personal medical treatment.

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) – State Minister for Sports, Waqf and Hajj pilgrimage V. Abdurahiman will be on a US trip for 20 days for medical reasons. His trip has been sanctioned by the Government and all the expenses will be borne by the State Government. The order approving his travel said that the travel would be subject to the consent of the concerned ministries at the Centre. The matter has been reported to the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.

V Abdurahiman is the Minister for Waqf in Kerala along with handling sports.

Kerala government approved his treatment in America.

Why is tax payers money used for treatment of a Waqf Minister?

Sell Waqf properties instead!@CMOKerala @KeralaGovernor
