LUCKNOW: The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board has ventured to give adequate representation to women with four new female members elected to the 51-member executive committee of the top representative body of the Muslims in the country. This brings the total number of women members in the executive panel to five. The elections were conducted on Saturday, the second day of the 21st general session of the Muslim Law Board here. The four new female members are Rukhsana Lari, Safia Naseem (both from Lucknow), Noorjehan Shakeel (Kolkata) and Asma Zehra (Hyderabad). Naseem Iqtidar Ali Khan was so far the sole woman member in the executive committee. She continues to be on the panel. Maulana Rabey Hasni Nadwi was unanimously elected president of the Law Board for the third successive term. He was first elected chairman at the Hyderabad session of the Board, followed by his re-election at the Chennai session. Maulana Nadwi's name was proposed by vice-chairman Maulana Syed Kalbe Sadiq. Since there were no other names for the post, the Maulana was elected unanimously. Another significant feature was the Board's attempt to expand its representation in the North-Eastern States and Ladakh. The representatives from these regions were elected term members. While Maulana Bilal was elected from Meghalaya and Syed Ahmed from Tripura, the Independent MP from Ladakh (J&K), Ghulam Hussain, and Maulana Ata-ur-Rehman (Assam United Democratic Front), MLA from Badarpur in Assam, were elected term members from Ladakh and Assam. Board spokesperson Zafaryab Jilani said the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, K. Rahman Khan, and retired Justice Mohammad Qadri were made life members of the board.
