\nBerenga : Hundreds of Muslims staged a protest against the recently passed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) legislation in BJP ruled Assam state.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, hundreds of Muslims gathered outside a mosque in the Berenga area of Cachar district to protest against the recently passed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) legislation, saying that it unfairly targets the Muslim community.<\/p>\n

The protesters raised slogans against the law and demanded its withdrawal.<\/p>\n

Former MLA Ataur Rahman Mazarbhuiya was among those present and addressed the gathering, criticising the legislation and describing it as an attack on religious freedom and Assam\u2019s cultural diversity.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media, Mazarbhuiya said that the UCC was being implemented in an unfair manner and specifically targeted Islam and Muslims.<\/p>\n
