Maharashtra UCC | Hyderabad, Nov. 10 (Maxim News): AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday alleged that the proposed Maharashtra UCC aims to target Muslims and impose a “Hindu Civil Code” on non-Hindu communities. He made the remarks at a press conference.

Owaisi said the Mahayuti government has invited public opinion on implementing the Uniform Civil Code. It has also prepared a questionnaire for the consultation. He claimed the questions show the Devendra Fadnavis-led government has already decided to bring in the code.
Asaduddin Owaisi objected to both the content and the format of the questionnaire. He said it has leading questions on polygamy and extra-judicial divorce, but none on the Hindu Undivided Family. He added that most questions are framed to draw yes-or-no answers.

Owaisi compared the exercise with UCC initiatives by BJP governments in Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Assam and Madhya Pradesh. He claimed these are not true uniform civil codes. He described them as attempts to impose a Hindu Civil Code on non-Hindu communities.
He also referred to the resignation of RC Chavan, a retired Bombay High Court judge. Owaisi said Chavan had pointed out that no member from the minority community was included. He linked that to the way the exercise is structured.
The AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi also questioned the government’s approach. He said it is discussing implementation in Maharashtra without defining what “uniform” means.
