Lucknow, Feb 5 (UNI) At the time when the Places of Worship Act 1991 is being challenged in the courts, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday demanded the central government to ensure its proper implementation, while raising objections over the Uniform Civil Code and anti-conversion laws implemented by some states, including Uttar Pradesh.
A resolution in this regard was passed during the meeting of the AIMPLB executive committee which was presided over by the chairman of the board and rector of Nadwatul Islam Maulana Rabey Hasan Nadwi and attended by various office-bearers and members, including All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
A resolution passed in the meeting stated, "The Places of Worship Act 1991 was established by the Government of India after being passed in the Parliament, hence, it is the duty of the government to ensure its proper implementation. It is in the national interest. Otherwise, it could lead to endless differences among various religious groups. The government must not surrender to the separatist powers and should responsibly safeguard the legal interests of all."
