AIMPLB: Govt trying to break Muslim unity

HYDERABAD: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday expressed concern over ‘growing atrocities on minorities and attempts to change Islamic Sharia by the government’.

The AIMPLB adopted a declaration at the end of a three-day 26th plenary of the board which said that Muslims in the country were feeling insecure and the present day conditions in the country were a matter of grave concern for them.

“The present-day government and individuals with vested interests are attempting to break the unity of the Muslims to the detriment of the entire community. It shall be our endeavour not to allow these unscrupulous deeds of some vested interests to destroy the unity,” the AIMPLB’s Hyderabad declaration said.

The declaration, which also mentioned the Babri Masjid, said Muslims can never abdicate the mosque.

The board made it clear that the struggle for the reconstruction of Babri Masjid would continue and the appeal in Supreme Court would be fought rigorously with all the resources available at its disposal.

Describing the Talaq-e-Biddat bill moved by the Centre as antiwomen and anti-sharia, the board said it would start a campaign against the bill.

‘FORCED TO RESIGN ’

AIMPLB member Maulana Salman Nadvi quit the board in Hyderabad on Sunday and said the Board member, SQR Ilyas, however said the board was left with no option but to remove Nadvi as he had mooted his own proposal to give up the disputed land in Ayodhya without discussing the matter with the board

“The board has reiterated its stand on Babri Masjid issue. But Nadvi is still speaking against it. So, a committee constituted by the Board to look into the disciplinary action against Nadvi has unanimously decided to remove him,” Ilyas said.
