Uttarakhand UCC Bill is Hindu code being applied to all, Owaisi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday, February 7, criticized the Uniform Civil Code Bill tabled in Uttarakhand, calling it a “Hindu Code that is being applied to all communities.”

He argued that the bill gives exemptions to Hindus and tribals, and forces Muslims to follow a different religion and culture, which violates their fundamental rights.

“…..There is the question of fundamental rights. I have a right to practice my religion and culture, this Bill forces me to follow a different religion and culture. In our religion, inheritance, and marriage are part of religious practice, it is a violation of Articles 25 & 29 to force us to follow a different system,” he said.
