Hyderabad: AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has hit out at Indian Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on implementing Uniform Civil Code (UCC), alleging that the BJP wants to target Muslims.<\/p>\n
Owaisi was reacting to Shah’s statement that BJP-led NDA governments in 21 states would introduce the UCC before 2029.”BJP is not doing this (implementation of UCC) for equality. This is only to target Muslims,” Owaisi told reporters in Hyderabad the other day.<\/p>\n
He said the BJP and Shah were seeking to implement the UCC in violation of Article 25, which guarantees freedom of religion, and Article 14, which guarantees the right to equality, of the Constitution. Owaisi said the soul of the country was its pluralism and a Uniform Civil Code would amount to imposing Hindu law on non-Hindus. He said the Law Commission appointed by the NDA government had concluded that a UCC was “neither necessary nor desirable”.<\/p>\n
Citing different provisions of the UCC in Goa, he asked whether Shah and the BJP would implement the UCC followed in BJP-ruled states such as Uttarakhand in the western state. He also asked whether NDA leaders such as N Chandrababu Naidu, Nitish Kumar and Chirag Paswan would endorse the provisions of the UCC.<\/p>\n
Questioning the move to make full rendition of Vande Mataram mandatory, Owaisi asked whether it was not contrary to freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution.<\/p>\n
Taking exception to Shah’s statement on NRC, Owaisi said Shah’s “misplaced arrogance” and his “chronology” had led to anti-CAA\/NRC protests in 2019.Describing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls as a “nasty joke”, he said, “The government provides ration to 80 crore people. You are telling them to stand in queue. Who are you to conduct SIR like this?”<\/p>\n
On BRICS summit, Owaisi asked, “Why does this government fear Trump and China so much?” He alleged China had provided weapons to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. He also took a dig at Shah saying those who could not stop the alleged theft at the Ram temple in Ayodhya were talking about UCC and NRC. Shah on Sunday had said, “Triple talaq has been abolished, giving Muslim women equal rights.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
