The All India Shia Personal Law Board (AISPLB) on Sunday urged the Centre to reconsider its plans on implementing the National Register of Citizens (NRC) across the country.
The board also passed a resolution in this regard at its annual meeting here and said Shia Muslims, who are faithful citizens of the country, but have been unable to purchase any property or possess any record pertaining to their education, should not face any problems because of the National Register of Citizens.
Board spokesperson Maulana Yasoob Abbas, while referring to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, said, "Provisions should be made so that Shia Muslims who are facing atrocities in Pakistan and Afghanistan get Indian citizenship like the non-Muslims."
