Lucknow:
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has decided to
hold a protest meeting on July 24 at Mumtaz PG College here in
Lucknow against various clauses of Right to Education, Waqf
Amendment Bill 2011 and Direct Taxes Code Bill.
A meeting in this regard was held at Islamia College in Lucknow on
July 04 where strategy for the protest meeting was discussed.
"Some clauses of the RTE Act are
harmful for the Muslim institutions. Hence, we demand that the
Madaris and minority institutions are exempted from the RTE Act,"
said AIMPLB's Executive Committee (EC) member, Zafaryab Jilani.
On Waqf Bill, the AIMPLB stated that its various provisions are
incomplete and will lead to further damage to Waqf properties.
About the proposed Waqf Development Agency, the board said that it
could prove damaging for the Waqf properties and sharing of the
income generated from the Waqf would hamper the interests of the
community.
Earlier, the AIMPLB in its executive
meeting held in Delhi June 19 has voiced its concern over the Waqf
amendments. However, the UPA government did not entertain the
representation of the board after which board has decided to
mobilise support by staging nationwide protest in phases.
