Unhappy with PM Modi’s remarks on UCC, says AIMJ chief

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a forceful argument for adopting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) during his Independence Day speech on Thursday, August, 15, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, the president of the All India Muslim Jamaat (AIMJ), claimed that Muslims in the country are not happy with the Prime Minister’s remarks. 

During his speech from the Red Fort, the Prime Minister said, “As we celebrate the 75th



year of the Constitution, it is our duty to realise the dreams of its framers, who envisioned a Uniform Civil Code. The Supreme Court has also urged us to address this issue”.

“The spirit of the Constitution and the call of our time demand that we discuss this crucial issue openly. Everyone should contribute their views. Laws that divide the country by religion and foster discrimination have no place in modern society.”
