LUCKNOW — The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has pulled Prime Minister Narendra Modi for visiting mosque in foreign land. It said that that PM could have chosen to visit a mosque in the country before visiting a mosque in the UAE.
Muslim body felt that the basic tenets of the Constitution like secularism, justice, freedom, equality and fraternity are being compromised with and efforts are on to convert India from a secular state to a Barhamanic Vedik nation.
“Before visiting a mosque in some other country, it would have been better if Modi had visited a masjid in India,” AIMPLB Working General Secretary Maulana Wali Rehmani said at a press conference here. “After the change of power at the Centre, attempts are being made to promote a particular religion at the cost of secularism,” Rehmani alleged.
Board also launched a “Deen aur Dastoor Bachav Tehrik” (Save Faith and Constitution Movement) in order to protect the secular fabric of the country.
Rahmani said that the Sachar Committee has clearly established that Muslims in the country are backward educationally as well as economically as compared to other segments but no effort has been made by the present govt to improve their condition.
