The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), an ally in the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), has decided to field senior Supreme Court lawyer Haris Beeran as its Rajya Sabha candidate for the upcoming elections in Kerala.

Announcing the decision, IUML supremo Saddiq Ali Shihab Thangal said the nomination of Beeran came after detailed discussions within the party. Beeran , who is based in Delhi, expressed that he has been entrusted with a significant responsibility during a time when the country is facing challenging times, with even the Constitution coming under duress.

"We are fighting a case with regards to CAA and is being handled by senior lawyer Kapil Sibal for us," said Beeran . The IUML has been at the forefront of the legal battle against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which the party fears could be used against naturalized Muslim citizens in conjunction with the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Beeran , whose father V.K. Beeran was a former additional advocate general, has been the mainstay for the IUML in all cases in the Supreme Court. The decision to nominate him as the IUML's Rajya Sabha candidate was taken at the party's high-power committee.

Elections for three Rajya Sabha seats in Kerala will be held on June 25. The CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) is expected to win two seats, while the Congress-led UDF can secure one. The UDF had earlier assured the IUML that it would get the seat as part of a settlement for the party's demand to contest from a third Lok Sabha seat in Kerala.
