“Violation Of Article 21”: Owaisi Slams UCC, Says It Interferes With Religious Freedom

Political leader Asaduddin Owaisi has voiced strong opposition to the Uniform Civil Code, arguing that its implementation would fundamentally breach constitutional protections of religious freedom under Article 21. Owaisi contends that the UCC represents government overreach into personal law matters governed by individual faith traditions. His criticism highlights ongoing tensions between uniform legal frameworks and minority religious rights in India's diverse secular democracy.
