Guwahati, July 15, 2023 (PPI-OT): The President of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Badruddin Ajmal, has said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will result in the overthrow of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government. The Indian Lok Sabha member from Assam asserted that other northeastern states, including Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Manipur, have rejected the UCC. “Where will the government put it (the UCC) into practice? The Narendra Modi administration will fall as a result,” he said.
According to the UCC, all Indian citizens will be subject to the same set of laws on marriage, divorce, and inheritance, regardless of their religion, tribe or other regional customs. The AIUDF leader said there are disparities between the people in the North, South, West and East. However, he added that as all Muslims follow one God and one faith, they need not be bothered by the discussions over the implementation of UCC. “We have one God, one faith, one Nabi, and one Quran. So, I urge the Muslims of Assam not to comment on UCC,” Ajmal said.
On June 14, the Law Commission began a new consultation process on UCC by seeking opinions on politically sensitive matters from the stakeholders, including the general public and recognised religious organisations in India.
