Asaduddin Owaisi Criticises Maharashtra Government's UCC Move

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has strongly criticised the Maharashtra government's efforts to introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. Describing the proposed framework as a Hindu Civil Code, he alleged that, similar to initiatives in BJP-ruled states, the move was aimed at targeting minority communities. He also questioned the government's questionnaire on the proposed legislation, pointing out that while it included issues such as polygamy, it made no reference to the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) system.

Owaisi further raised concerns over the lack of minority representation in the process of examining the proposed UCC. Referring to the resignation of retired judge R.C. Chavan, he claimed that the absence of minority representation was the reason behind the resignation. His remarks have brought renewed attention to the ongoing debate over the proposed Uniform Civil Code, its scope and the representation of different communities in the consultation process.
