A group of individuals, many of them Muslims and some allied to the Indian Muslims for Secular Democracy (IMSD) movement, have pushed back against the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) call for an anti-blasphemy law in India.

Recently, the IMSD put forth its views along with signatures of prominent persons from the community about how this law actually puts clamps on any and all debate about the religion and has been used and abused by nations to criminalise and punish critics, from the Muslim community and outside.
