AIMPLB govt committee member Dr. Qasim Rasool stated, “The UCC is neither necessary nor does it benefit our country in any way.

Similarly, Maharashtra MLA Abu Azmi claimed that each one religions will oppose the interference in Shariat by means of UCC.

In our country, languages, culture, religion, etc change after going a few kilometers away, so do you want to destroy them all? Not only Muslims but people of all religions will oppose the interference in Shariat through #UCC whose religious laws you will interfere with.”

मोदी जी को #UniformCivilCode पर ये भी कह देना चाहिए के इस देश में एक ही धर्म के लोग रहेंगे। हमारे देश में कुछ किलोमीटर दूर जाने पर भाषाएं, संस्कृति, धर्म आदि बदलते है तो क्या आप उन सब को ख़त्म कर देना चाहते है? #UCC के ज़रिए शरीयत में दखल अंदाजी का विरोध सिर्फ मुसलमान ही नहीं… pic.twitter.com/Yz9T4IQ3RS

However, it should be implemented after wider consultation with everyone. We feel that there should be wide consultation with all religions, political parties, and organizations and a consensus should be built.”

हम सैद्धांतिक रूप से UCC के समर्थन में हैं क्योंकि Article 44 भी कहता है कि देश में UCC होना चाहिए।

कुछ मुद्दे ऐसे होते हैं, जिन पर आप Reverse नहीं जा सकते हैं, ऐसे मुद्दे लागू करने से आपसे कई धर्मो, सम्प्रदाय के लोग नाराज़ हो सकते हैं
