Gujarat businessman Zafar Sareshwala, who is considered close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had to leave the venue of All India Muslim Personal Law Board meeting in Jaipur on Sunday after some members raised objection to his presence, following which he described the board as "an extension of certain political parties".

Earlier, the board had rejected Sareshwala's suggestion to have a meeting with the prime minister.

Sareshwala said that the board will lose its relevance if it continued with its adamant approach.

"They will lose their relevance. The world will move on and such people will be left behind because time does not wait for anyone," Sareshwala, a vocal supporter of Modi said.

Sareshwala, who is also Vice-Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University Hyderabad, said "the board is an extension of certain political parties".
