Speaking to a news agency, the JPC Chairman said, "While many Muslim clerics are supporting this bill, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board is objecting to it. On the day of 'Alvida Namaz', they asked people to wear black armbands in protest against this bill, and even today, on Eid, they have appealed to people to protest against this bill. But why? First, let the amended law come."

Further, he stated that while Muslims were thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the 'Saugat-e-Modi', Congress, Owaisi and AIMPLB were looking at Muslims as a vote bank and doing appeasement.
