He said the AIMC members would also discuss the strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand. In the past, Milli Council has issued advisory to Muslims about voting choice ahead of the polls.
Jamiat Ulama's Maulana Mohammad Ahmad said that the constitution gives people to follow their religions and have their own rites and rituals. "When it comes to personal law, just Muslims are targeted though Hindus, Christians, Jains, Sikhs, Tribals and other communities too have laws in accordance with their requirements", he said.
Maulana Maseeh Alam said that Muslims are not going to tolerate the needless intervention and the attempts to target the community. "All Muslim scholars, irrespective of their sects, are united and have the same stand on this issue", he said.
