All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi has criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for introducing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in states where it holds power. Owaisi argues that the BJP's intention is not to promote equality, but rather to target the 18 crore Muslim population across India.
He claims that the BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are disregarding key constitutional Articles, including 25, 14, 26, and 29, in their pursuit of this agenda.

He also challenges Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP, and the RSS to implement UCC in Goa, considering the state's existing "Disturbed Area Act" and "Love Jihad" laws.
