Established on April 7-8 1973 the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) was created by the Indian Muslim Ulema as a response to the perceived threat being created by Indian Parliament and its Law-Makers. This, in fear that they might lose the applicability of Muslim Shariah Law within its community.
On March 2, 2008 the AIMPLB held a conference on the Park Circus Maidan, roughly a few hundred yards from my house.
While some conservative estimates put the meetings numbers at around 60,000 people, the organizers said there were over 100,000 present.
One thing I find very interesting is that no English paper/daily (nor most local vernacular newspapers) thought that this was newsworthy enough to cover. The Telegraph dropped the ball again with no coverage of the day. Perhaps they'll run something two weeks later as this seems to be their habit with 'News.'
