Owaisi expresses disappointment over not inviting Telangana CM KCR to opposition meet
It is no accident that it has been almost precisely five years since the Law Commission's last study of the idea of a uniform civil code. The administration led by the Bhartiya Janata party raises the subject of UCC and attempts to poison the atmosphere and polarise the public in the lead-up to the elections like clockwork every time general elections are a few months away," he added.
A unified civil code, according to Justice Chauhan, who presided over the 21st Law Commission after the Consultation Paper, is not required nor desirable at this time, the speaker claimed. In the lead-up to the lok sabha elections, Owaisi claimed, "The current exercise has no constitutional basis. It is merely a political exercise aimed at sparking a public debate on a sensitive issue to divert the focus of the debate away from poverty, unemployment, inflation, and other issues facing the country." The UCC, he said, will eradicate other traditions.
According to him, the UCC is already facing opposition from several tribes across the nation. "Let the PM come to adilabad in telangana and tell the Gond community about the implementation of the UCC," he rebuked prime minister Modi.
