Greater Noida (Political Desk): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday targeted the government BJP over the implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand. Speaking at the public rally, he said that UCC should be voluntary, it should not be imposed forcefully.
Uttarakhand became the first state in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), effective from January 27, 2025.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the UCC aims to bring uniformity in personal civil matters that have, in the past, discriminated based on caste, religion, gender, and other factors.
