LUCKNOW: Concerned about talks around a common civil code for all religions in India, the All India Shia Personal Law Board (AISPLB) on Tuesday claimed such a code will only create riot-like circumstances in the country.

“Such a common civil code if implemented will only create discord in society and pitch people against one another,” said Maulana Yasoob Abbas, spokesperson, AISPLB. He also claimed that minorities will further lose trust in government if the code is implemented. According to AISPLB, Islam in itself has provided laws for inheritance, marriage, divorce and other such issues covered under the common civil code.
