Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi recently criticized the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) stating that its implementation would infringe upon Muslims' religious freedom. Owaisi argued that the UCC conflicts with several fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India, including Articles 25, 26, 14, and 29.
He asserted that the UCC aimed to annihilate the religious freedom of the 18 crore Muslims in the country, particularly targeting the 8-9 percent Muslim population in Madhya Pradesh. The AIMIM leader further expressed his desire to form an alliance in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, emphasizing that they do not favor a third consecutive term of the BJP government.
Owaisi alleged that during the tenure of the BJP-led government, madarsas, mosques, burial grounds, and mazars have been deliberately destroyed.
