Also a member of the executive committee of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), Maulana Sajjad said he would soon chalk out the next phase of the protest in consultation with the organisations that had come out in support of the ‘bandh’ call on Wednesday.

The cleric, who addressed Shaheen Bagh protestors on January 9, said he had urged people not to disrupt traffic or take out any protest march and ensure that no inconvenience was caused to anyone and that the ‘bandh’ be kept peaceful.
