New Delhi: Hundreds of members of Uttarakhand\u2019s Muslim community gathered in Haridwar to protest against the recently implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which they see as an attack on their religious identity.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the demonstration was organised by the Muslim Seva Sangathan, in which protesters demonstrated outside the Collectorate office demanding the immediate withdrawal of the law, which they say undermines their religious freedoms and cultural practices.<\/p>\n
The UCC, a contentious legal framework aimed at standardising personal laws across all religions, was implemented in Uttarakhand on January 27.<\/p>\n
While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government hails it as a step toward national unity and gender equality, the Muslim community argues that it disregards their religious traditions and imposes a homogenised legal system that conflicts with their faith.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not against the law of the land, but the UCC directly violates our religious rights and personal laws,\u201d said Mohammad Rizwan, a prominent member of the Muslim Seva Sangathan, addressing the crowd. \u201cThis law was imposed without consulting us, and it must be repealed immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
The protesters, carrying placards and chanting slogans, submitted a memorandum to the Governor through Haridwar Tehsildar Priyanka Rani, who accepted it on behalf of the administration. The memorandum outlined their grievances and called for the law\u2019s revocation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
