New Delhi |  The Executive Committee of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), at its meeting chaired by Board President Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, reviewed the current situation in the country and discussed issues concerning the Muslim community. The meeting expressed concern over communal tensions, incidents of violence, demolition drives against mosques and madrasas and alleged violations of constitutional and fundamental rights.

The Board also discussed the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in various states and reiterated its opposition to such laws, stating that they are contrary to the spirit of religious freedom and India’s pluralistic character. It resolved to continue pursuing legal remedies against UCC laws introduced by state governments.

The Executive Committee opposed attempts to make Vande Mataram compulsory in schools and government-aided madrasas and welcomed the interim order of the Calcutta High Court staying such a directive in madrasas. It maintained that religious beliefs and sentiments of minority communities should be respected.

Expressing concern over the recent Madhya Pradesh High Court judgment in the Kamal Maula Mosque/Bhojshala case, the Board welcomed the decision to challenge the verdict before the Supreme Court and assured all possible support to the Mosque Committee in the legal proceedings.

The meeting further resolved to launch a nationwide movement against what it described as growing communal tensions and the marginalisation of Muslims, in cooperation with justice-loving, democracy-loving and peace-loving sections of society. For this purpose, the Board decided to constitute an Action Committee.
