New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing tension between Bharat and Pakistan after the terror attack in Pahalgam to which Bharat forces are replying strongly with the ongoing “Operation Sindoor”, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on May 8 calls for dialogues and discussion.
In an official statement issued on May 8, the AIMPLB while expressing its concern over the increasing tension on the India-Pakistan border said that it supports every necessary step taken for the defence and protection of the nation and its people and emphasises that in these critical times, the public, political parties armed forces and the government must come together to face these threats.
The Board however further noted that it is of the view that Bharat and Pakistan cannot afford a war, especially in the presence of nuclear weapons.
“Terrorism and the killings of innocent civilians is a grave concern. There is absolutely no place for terrorism in Islamic teaching, globally recognised principles and human values. Therefore countries should resolve their matters through bilateral dialogues and discussion. It is also a fact that war is not a solution to any issue – especially in the presence of nuclear weapons, India and Pakistan cannot afford a war,” reads the resolution passed by the board on Thursday.
In a special online meeting of the office bearers of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, the following resolution was passed:
