Political debate over the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Maharashtra has intensified, with BJP and Shiv Sena leaders responding to criticism from MP Asaduddin Owaisi. BJP leader Ram Kadam referred to Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, which calls upon the state to work towards a uniform civil code for citizens. He stressed the principle of having a common legal framework for all citizens, irrespective of religion.

Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC said the UCC would contribute to the empowerment of Muslim women and promote equality. NDA leaders also accused Owaisi of misleading people for vote-bank politics. The exchange of statements has brought the UCC debate back into the political spotlight in Maharashtra, with leaders from different political groups expressing contrasting views on the proposed legal framework.
