Mangaluru, Oct 27:"Uniform civil code is divisive which has political agenda and will lead to social unrest," said K S Masood, president of Muslim central committee of Dakshina Kannada district.
Addressing the media persons here on Thursday October 27, Masood said "Recently the central government has submitted affidavit to the Supreme Court against the triple talaq mentioned in shariyat law. It is against the spirit of the Indian constitution, which safeguards the right of citizens to practice their culture and religion. Uniform Civil Code is not good for this nation. There are many cultures in this nation and they have to be respected."
“The constitution gives the right of religious practice according to their religion. We strongly oppose the interference of government in our religious maters. In the name of triple talaq, they are playing political game. We respect the Indian law and constitution. The constitution itself gives us right to practice our religion. We will not allow anyone to curtail our freedom to practice with the political motive." he concluded.
Ibrahim Kodijal, vice president of the committee, B A Mohammed Haneef, Beary Academy president and others were present.
