We do not involve ourselves in politics: AIMPLB

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Tuesday stated that it does not comment on politics and elections.

The statement was shared on social media by the AIMPLB General Secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani.

The move comes days after noted cleric Maulana Khalil-ur-Rahman Sajjad Nomani, a member of the AIMPLB’s influential Working Committee, tweeted an open letter to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. In the letter, Maulana Nomani apprised Mr Owaisi of a division of votes, and urged that his party contest only where winning was certain, and enter into an alliance on others.
