Karat Razak
Karat Razack is an Indian politician and an MLA in Kerala legislative assembly. His native place is Koduvally (കൊടുവള്ളി ) in Kozhikode district of Kerala. He was a prominent leader of IUML but contested the 2016 assembly election from Koduvally constituency as an independent supported by the LDF and got elected. After he was denied a seat by IUML both in 2011 and 2016, he contested as a dissident. LDF announced support and Razak won by 573 votes. On 25 October, a case was filed by a member of the Koduvally Muslim Students Federation against Razak for allegedly assaulting  students inside a college in Koduvally. In January 2019 the Kerala High Court disqualified Razak as MLA for screening a defamatory video against his election opponent M. A. Razak. On appeal, a division bench stayed the order, with the condition that Karat Razak can participate in Assembly proceedings, but cannot vote or partake in any benefits.
