“We record our displeasure and consider it as attack on personal law of Muslims. This stand of the present Government is contrary to the protection guaranteed by the Constitution of India. We make categorical statement that the Community cannot and shall not tolerate such attack on personal law of Muslim Community,” added the Board’s member Zafaryab Jilani during Press conference.
