"How Is Code Uniform If A Community Is Exempted": Muslim Body On Civil Code

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board was reacting to the Uniform Civil Code Bill being tabled in the Uttarakhand Assembly.

All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) disapproved of the Uniform Civil Code after the UCC Bill was tabled in the Uttarakhand State Assembly during its ongoing four-day session.

Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali, Executive Member of AIMPLB, voiced his concern and  questioned the nature of the 'uniform code' if any community is exempted.

"As far as UCC is concerned, we are of the opinion that uniformity cannot be brought in every law and if you exempt any community from this UCC, how can it be called a uniform code?" the AIMPLB member said.
