Progressive Muslim Groups Oppose AIMPLB Campaign, Advocate Gender-Just Personal Law Reforms
Progressive Muslim activists and organizations, including Naseeruddin Shah and Teesta Setalvad, oppose the All India Muslim Personal Law Board's (AIMPLB) 'Save India, Save Shariat' campaign, arguing it upholds patriarchal personal laws and risks political polarization. They call for gender-just reforms in Muslim personal law and caution that the campaign may enable right-wing groups like the BJP to portray Muslims as opposing constitutional law. These groups plan meetings to promote reform and counter AIMPLB's narrative amid ongoing Uniform Civil Code debates.
