Sharia is an Islamic religious law based on the teachings of the Quran and the traditional sayings of Muhammad.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) today said that "mere opposition to Sharia" cannot be the basis for the Uniform Civil Code, asserting that Uniform Civil Code also means having equality in law and justice for all.
Sharia is an Islamic religious law based on the teachings of the Quran and the traditional sayings of Muhammad.
In an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Uddhav Thackeray-led party said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should first respect uniform law by disqualifying 40 MLAs including Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, whose Urban Development department has taken action against 18 ex-corporators from the Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNCMC).
Earlier this week, 18 former Congress corporators of BNCMC were disqualified from contesting any elections for the next six years for voting against their party's official mayoral candidate in 2019 and defying party whip.
