New Delhi , September03 : The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has announced a nationwide campaign titled “Save India, Save Sharia”, beginning September 17 with a programme at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The campaign is expected to run for three months and will focus on issues including the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), mosque and madrasa-related matters, alleged mob lynchings, demolition or “bulldozer” action and the controversy surrounding Vande Mataram.
However, the proposed campaign has already faced criticism from within the Muslim community. The All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz has described it as “uncalled for” and warned that invoking religious issues could contribute to political polarisation.
The AIMPLB’s announcement places Sharia, personal law and Muslim identity at the centre of a fresh national political mobilisation, with Jantar Mantar set to witness the campaign’s opening programme on September 17.
Announcing the campaign, AIMPLB spokesperson Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, father of jailed activist Umar Khalid, said the initiative was necessary because, according to the Board, Muslims had faced a series of challenges to their religious and constitutional rights over the past decade.

The announcement comes amid an intensifying debate over the implementation of the UCC in several states. The Board has portrayed the UCC as a threat to Muslim personal law and religious freedom. The campaign is also likely to become part of the wider political discourse ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
