He emphasized that courts remain their last resort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not accept any law that is against Sharia. Muslims can compromise on many things, but never on their Sharia and religion. This is not just about Muslim existence but also their Constitutional rights. The government is attempting to take away the rights granted to Muslims through the UCC,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the implementation of UCC conflicts with fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution. Madani also said that the UCC is detrimental to the country\u2019s unity and integrity. He pointed out that while Article 44 is cited as the basis for UCC, it is only a directive principle and not a binding provision. Meanwhile, Articles 25, 26, and 29, which guarantee religious freedom, are being ignored. The Shariat Application Act of 1937 also protects Muslim personal law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has filed a petition at the High Court Uttarakhand challenging the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the BJP-ruled state of India.
