All-India Muslim Personal Law Board opposes Communal Violence Bill - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) is against the proposed Communal Violence Bill terming it as anti-Muslim. Addressing the media in Lucknow, AIMPLB spokeperson Maulana Abdul Raheem Qureishi termed it as anti Muslim. Elaborating on the agenda of the three-day annual conference, Qureishi said the Bill cannot be accepted in its present format, as it does not have provision for the accountability of the police and civic officials. He said the provisions in the Bill would be discussed in detail during the conference. The board will discuss means for effective implementation of Darul Qaza Islamic courts across the country, he said, adding that an effective and proper awareness programme would be held for Muslim fraternity in this regard. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board maintained that the report of the Liberhan Commission cannot be accepted in totality.
