Board preparing to transfer CEO Md Asadullah and to bring in former CEO Sultan Mohiuddin by revoking his suspension

Hyderabad: After relieving M J Akbar as Special Officer State Wakf Board, attempts are afoot to transfer Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Md Asadullah and to bring in former CEO Sultan Mohiuddin by revoking his suspension. According to official sources, there has been growing political pressure on the officials during the recent months.

Most of the decisions related to Wakf Board, including the controversial appointment of Mutawalli for the Yousufain Dargah, were directly taken by the Secretary Minorities Welfare Syed Omer Jaleel.

After bifurcation of the Board on October 17, the government has also given him the responsibilities as Special Officer by replacing M J Akbar. Md Asadullah, the current CEO, is believed to be in the line of fire as part of the changing scenario in Wakf Board. Asadullah was appointed during April, after Sultan Mohiuddin’s suspension. Action against Sultan Mohiuddin was initiated after he along with other officials objected to the appointment of M J Akbar, as the then CEO in May, this year.

Sultan Mohiuddin had earlier occupied the post of Deputy Secretary, which was illegally created in 2011. In November, 2014, Secretary of Minorities Welfare himself issued a memo to M J Akbar asking to furnish a detailed report on the matter of illegal creation of three posts.

The memo had sought action against the erring officers. The posts were occupied by Sultan Mohiuddin and two others, and in the meantime Sultan Mohiuddin became the CEO. He was suspended in April. “How can the Wakf Board bring in a suspended official and replace him with an honest one?” board officials wonder.
