As Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami tables the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, criticism reverberates from Muslim leaders and opposition members. Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan asserts, "We won't abide by it if it is against the 'hidayat' given to Muslims in the Quran." Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali questions the bill's uniformity, stating, "How can there be uniformity when you have exempted a few communities from it?" Meanwhile, Congress clarifies its stance, with LoP Yashpal Arya emphasizing, "We are not against the Uniform Civil Code." Former CM Harish Rawat accuses the state government of disregarding parliamentary procedures, urging for a more transparent process.
