Political career

A. N. Shamseer entered into politics as a Students' Federation of India (SFI) activist during his school days. He was part of the leadership of SFI right from school to the all India level.[5]

Shamseer was the first Chairman of the Kannur University Union. He was elected as the state secretary of SFI in 2009 and as the National Vice President in 2009.[6] Later he moved onto DYFI in 2010. Shamseer contested the Indian General Elections in April 2014 as the CPI(M) candidate from Vatakara (Lok Sabha constituency) in Kerala.[7]

He was the president of the DYFI Kerala state committee between 2016 and 2018.[8]

Controversies

In 2012, Shamseer issued threats against the police in a speech while he was DYFI’s Kannur district president. He was tried in 2016, and sentenced to three months in prison and a 2000 rupee fine for criminal intimidation.[9]

In November 2018, Kerala High Court quashed appointment of Shamsheer's wife in Kannur University and directed the university to appoint the first rank holder,[10][11] who had alleged violation of norms and nepotism in the appointment.[12][13]
