Kahara: Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Inderwal, G. M Saroori has said that the agenda of some communal party of brining uniform civil code in the country would create havoc. India is a land of different religious and ethnic communities with varied laws for matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption. A Uniform Civil Code would engulf all these personal laws into one secular law, applicable to each citizen regardless of their community or religious ideology.
He said that with such a code, the government was trying to manipulate personal laws. “India is a diverse country where people follow their own personal laws, which have been evolved through tradition and customs, going back thousands and thousands of years. So therefore if the government tries to manipulate personal laws of communities and people as to how they are supposed to get married, how they are supposed to be cremated, buried after their demise, how they are supposed to conduct their social lives, it is going to create an absolute havoc in the country,” said Saroori.
Saroori said “I don’t understand why government is in a hurry to talk about Uniform Civil Code when there are several other more important burning issues the government is confronted with, you know price rise, corruption and many other issues which need the highest priority,” said Saroori.
Saroori was speaking during the annual function day of Madrasa-Ul-Uloom at Tanta Kahara in Sub-Division Thathri.
Eminent Muslim scholars, Management of the Madrasa, thousands of people and other dignitaries were also present in the function. On the occasion Mufti Jamal Din also delivered a talk on the importance of the Madaris and Ulamas.
