Owaisi Questions Maharashtra Govt’s UCC Questionnaire
The questionnaire, prepared by the Maharashtra government, makes it clear that the Devendra Fadnavis government will implement the UCC: Owaisi
Hyderabad: AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has said the Maharashtra government has invited opinions from the public to implement UCC and it has also prepared a questionnaire for it.
The questionnaire, prepared by the Maharashtra government, makes it clear that the Devendra Fadnavis government will implement the UCC. The questionnaire consists of leading questions on polygamy and extra-judicial divorce.
But there is not one question on Hindu Undivided Family. This makes it evident that, much like the initiatives introduced by BJP governments in Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh under the guise of a 'Uniform Civil Code,' this is not a true UCC, but rather a 'Hindu Civil Code' that is being imposed upon non-Hindu communities.
“Additionally, if you examine the questionnaire, you will find that the majority of the questions are framed in a 'yes or no' format. I believe this is precisely why R.C. Chavan, a retired judge of the Bombay High Court, chose to resign,” he explained.
He had stated that there is no one from the minority community. They are talking about implementation in Maharashtra at this juncture, but they are not defining what this 'uniform' actually is."
