A women's front recently pledged resistance against any efforts by the government to "interfere" in the Sharia law and said a mass campaign will be launched to scuttle such efforts. Addressing a programme in Kota in Rajasthan, National Women's Front president Zainaba AS said that no interference of the government in the Sharia law will be tolerated and a mass campaign will be launched to aware Muslim women in the country. "The NWF supports Muslim Personal Law board and a campaign will be run across the country to create awareness among Muslim women," she said.
The issues of triple talaq and Uniform Civil Code are being "raked up" by the BJP for gains in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, a women's body said on Wednesday while accusing the AIMPLB of "playing into the hands" of the saffron party by helping it to polarise people.
The body said the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) is "just a NGO" that does not represent the entire Muslim community, adding that it will urge the Chief Justice of India to ensure all stakeholders are heard by court in a case in this regard, rather than just the Board.
