AIMPLB also plans to begin a signature campaign, which will be signed by Muslim women demanding no interference from the government in the Sharia law.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) garners support amongst the scholars, maulanas and Ulema in Delhi on the issue of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) being pushed by the government. The board is mobilizing the stakeholders to keep the movement against UCC on.
The board sees UCC as another attempt by the government to further isolate the community. The members of the board alleged that in the past two years, the government has stirred issues ranging from love jihad, beef ban, removal of minority status of Aligarh Muslim University and the recent crises in Kashmir. "These are attempts to isolate Muslims. We have taken a blow on our social, economic, and educational status, but we cannot allow the government to play with our religious sentiments and faith," said Mufti Ejaz Arshad Qasmi, member of the board.
AIMPLB, on Saturday, had called about 500 Imans from Delhi and NCR to explain the real situation of the issue. The plan is, if the government fails to understand their position, the Imans will spread awareness about the Islamic divorce proceedings. "The Imans will make people understand the real concept of triple talaq," said Maulana Mohammad Wali Rahmani, general secretary of the board.
AIMPLB also plans to begin a signature campaign, which will be signed by Muslim women demanding no interference from the government in the Sharia law.
Law Commission has sought opinions from various stakeholder on the issue of UCC. It is seeking opinion on putting an end to several religious practices. While the commission calls it a nationwide consensus building, the Muslim community feels that it is questioning Muslim practices. "We respect the Indian democracy. But reforms cannot take place without keeping the stakeholders in the loop. It should come with the consensus of the community," added Qasim.
The Saturday meeting was a befitting reply to Information and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu's remark on Friday, when Naidu criticized the AIMPLB for playing politics over the issue, rather than coming on board to discuss the real issue.
