Lucknow, July 5: The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has convened an online meeting of its members on Wednesday to finalise a draft which it will submit to the Law Commission over the issue of Uniform Civil Code (UCC).

“The Board feels it is the duty of the Law Commission to meet people from every faith, listen to their views before coming to any conclusion. Muslims love their country, and at the same time, do not want any interference in their personal laws,” chairman of the Islamic Centre of India Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali said. Uniform Civil Code to Be Implemented Soon, Says Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami After Meeting PM Narendra Modi.
