1. During the 29 ^th session of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), a controversial statement was made, with speakers declaring, “Parliament is theirs and the road is ours.” Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, spokesperson for the Board, clarified that the phrase “the road is ours” signifies the community’s intention to raise their voices outside Parliament if they are unable to do so within it. This remark was made in the context of ongoing opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

2. Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, spokesperson for the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), condemned the 44 proposed amendments in the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, asserting that they are designed to undermine the status and protection of Waqf property. He emphasized that if the Bill is passed despite the Board’s opposition, significant pressure will be exerted on the Union Government to withdraw these amendments.

3. The spokesperson of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has termed the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as “unacceptable,” stating that it violates the fundamental rights of religious freedom and cultural diversity guaranteed by the Constitution. They emphasized that the Muslim community cannot accept a uniform civil code, as it would require them to compromise on Sharia law, which they are committed to following.

Editorial Perspectives

• Will the Union government take legal action against these fanatic Muslims who make such threats and defy court orders ?

• It has been repeatedly observed that a significant number of Muslims in India lack trust in the police, administration, and judiciary. Notably, secular parties have remained silent on this issue, failing to speak out against those who perpetuate such sentiments.
