Do not confuse Muslims, remove the word 'Board' from All India Muslim Personal Law Board- BJP.

BJP Minority Front has demanded the removal of the word 'Board' from the All India Muslim Personal Law Board. For this, it has written a letter to the President of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Khalid Rahmani. BJP Minority Front President Jamal Siddiqui has written in a letter to Khalid Rahmani that, looking at your party's name, it seems that it is the representative party of the Muslim people of the entire India, whereas the representation of the Pasmanda community in your party is negligible.

Siddiqui has also said that the word 'Board' makes it seem like it is a government organization, whereas it is a non-government organization. Hence, the word 'Board' should be removed from its name. Siddiqui also raised questions about the All India Muslim Personal Board not making its financial transactions and donations public and demanded that the word 'Board' be removed from this organization, so that the Muslims of the country are not confused.

BJP Minority Front further said in the letter that you claim to be the representative of Muslims across India but it is not so. You have given almost no share to the Pasmanda community and neither have you ever raised your voice for it whereas 80 percent of the Muslims in the country come from the Pasmanda community. This is a non-governmental organization. Therefore, the word 'Board' should be removed from its name.
