The All India Muslim Personal Law Board said it considered Uniform Civil Code unnecessary, impractical and extremely harmful for the country. "The board feels it necessary to reiterate its stand that the Muslim personal law is derived from Quran and Sunnah and hence even Muslims are not authorised to make any changes.So, the government or any other external source trying to bring any change in these laws will only lead to chaos and disorder in the society which can not be executed by any sensible government," the statement issued by the AIMPLB read.
