Guwahati: Hundreds of Muslims staged a peaceful protest in Assam\u2019s Cachar district against the recently enacted Uniform Civil Code, calling it discriminatory and an interference in religious practices.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the protest was held in Berenga, with residents gathering outside a local mosque and raising slogans demanding withdrawal of the legislation.<\/p>\n

The protesters said the UCC infringes upon religious freedoms and seeks to alter long-standing personal laws of the Muslim community. Many viewed it as an attempt to interfere with matters deeply connected to faith and identity.<\/p>\n

Former MLA Ataur Rahman Mazarbhuiya, addressing the gathering, accused the government of introducing a measure that threatens religious liberty and Assam\u2019s diverse social fabric. He said the law disproportionately targets Muslims and questioned the exemption granted to Scheduled Tribes under the Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf some communities are exempted, then how can there be equality?\u201d Mazarbhuiya asked. The protesters urged the government to reconsider the law and engage with affected communities before implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
