Will it be UCC for Muslims and Hindu code for the majority, asks Owaisi

The Hindu  

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday wondered whether the Uniform Civil Code if introduced, would be uniform irrespective of community. It appears that UCC is for Muslims and Hindu code for the majority,” Mr Owaisi said even as he pointed out that he was raising questions that the Centre would have to answer. Mr Owaisi recalled how former Law Commission Chairman Justice B S Chauhan opined that the UCC was unnecessary and the Hindu Undivided Family tax rebate should be removed. Taking questions on the Economically Weaker Section quota, Mr Owaisi described it as a “fraud on the Constitution.” He said that his party had opposed it in the Parliament.
