AAP KI ADALAT: “If UCC is being brought to polarize people, let Muslim leaders support it and prevent polarization”, Arif Mohammad Khan tells Rajat Sharma
Mumbai: Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has challenged Muslim leaders to support uniform civil code, if they think that UCC is being brought to polarize voters.
He was replying to questions from Rajat Sharma in the show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ that telecasted on India TV on 15 July 2023. Khan was asked whether BJP wants to polarize Hindu and Muslim voters by floating the idea of uniform civil code.
The Kerala Governor replied, “Oh, if that is the reason, the best step to stop polarization is by standing up and demand that uniform civil code be introduced. Polarization will end on its own. On the other hand, they (Muslim leaders) are helping polarization. Who is speaking the language of polarization? Let them support uniform civil code and ensure that the practices and customs are not prohibited. Nobody will stop them. For example, Muslim husband pays ‘mehar’ (dowry) to wife for physical relations. Will the UCC tell the husband not pay ‘mehar’ to his wife? It will rather say, pay more to her. ”
Khan explained, “How did the divorce provision come in Hindu Code Bill? There is no practice of divorce in Hindu society. If you make a code today having provision of divorce, it will not be in accordance with Hindu scriptures. There was no equal property rights for daughters among Hindus. Didn’t Hindu society accept equal property rights? In India, religion is not above all. You have to go by the practices of modern times.”
