AIMPLB asks Muslims to resist govt’s ‘Brahmin dharma push’

The AIMPLB will push forward the agenda during its first conclave of clerics, Imams, qazis and heads of minority schools and colleges on August 17 in Bhopal.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has given a call to all minority organisations, institutions and Imams to fight against what it called the “NDA government’s sinister design to impose Vedic culture and Brahmin dharma”.

The AIMPLB will push forward the agenda during its first conclave of clerics, Imams, qazis and heads of minority schools and colleges on August 17 in Bhopal. The conclave is being held to implement the resolution that was passed by its working committee in June slamming the Central government for propagating yoga, surya namaskar and Vande Matram in educational institutes. The resolution had termed these as “part of Brahmin dharma and against the ideology of Muslims”.

“There is a serious threat to our religion. We need to awaken our community for launching a protest on a large scale,” said Maulana Wali Rehmani, working general secretary of the AIMPLB.

He said that more such conclaves would be held in every state.

On June 15, Rehmani had written a letter to Imams and the heads of Muslim outfits urging them to unite against the agenda of the Modi government.  Later, it asked prominent community figures to include doctors, engineers, and advocates from the community in the campaign.
