Earlier, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu had asked the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) not to force its view on others and make it political on the issue of Law Commission’s questionnaire on Uniform Civil Code.

The AIMPLB had, in a press conference last Thursday, slammed the government for creating discord between communities, saying the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) was against the very constitution of India.
