Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has expressed strong opposition to the Assam government's proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, labeling it a discriminatory measure that imposes Hindu law on Muslims while exempting tribal communities. In a statement on social media, Owaisi pointed out that the bill cannot be considered uniform since it protects the cultural rights of tribal communities but not those of Muslims and other groups. He emphasized that the framers of the Indian Constitution did not envision a mandatory UCC, arguing that the bill lacks public support. Owaisi raised concerns about inheritance laws, stating that the UCC's provisions contradict Islamic principles, which mandate equal inheritance rights for all heirs. He criticized the legislation for allowing individuals to exclude heirs from their wills, thus undermining gender justice. The Assam government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, has defended the bill as a means to promote equality and legal uniformity across various communities in the state. The introduction of the UCC Bill has sparked significant criticism from opposition parties and minority organizations.
