KHJM has also resolved that their units in Telangana as well as in the country will campaign against the proposed private bill on UCC to bring awareness among the people and to build pressure on their elected public representatives belonging to all the secular parties to strongly oppose the Bill when it comes for the discussion. As part of this initiative, it has been decided to organize awareness programs and soon a round table meeting will be organized in Hyderabad, involving Political leaders, lawyers, and Religious Leaders of all Communities.

KHJM Chief Moulana Syed Shah Ahmed Noorullah Quadri said that if the UCC has to be brought, it should be based on the 1937 Sharia Act, which will benefit all the communities.

Moulana said that UCC will not only be opposed to the Muslims but will also apply to various other communities who follow their own traditions and rituals, it will also affect Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Lingayats, and other minorities as well in many tribal societies.
