Addressing media persons in the city on Thursday, Committee president K S Mohammed Masood said that all the Muslim organisations in coastal Karnataka endorse All India Muslim Personal Law Board's decision to reject Law Commission's questionnaire on the possibility of a UCC.

He said that under the pretext of giving justice to Muslim women by ending controversial triple talaq, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led NDA government trying to interfere in Muslim personal law and make changes in Islamic Shariah.

Mr Masood said that if there were “flaws” in the personal laws governing Muslims, the scholars and religious heads of the community are capable of addressing them from time-to-time. “There is a long procedure for three talaqs in Islam. If anyone violates the rules of talaq and ignores rights of woman, the victims can approach local Ulema or Khazi who will solve the problem,” he said.

He said that his committee will join the nationwide signature campaign launched by the Personal Law Board against the UCC. He urged all Muslims in the twin districts to strive to make the campaign success. Signatures of men and women from the community will be sent to Personal Law Board through All India Milli Council, he added.

“People of different cultures live in this country. If the UCC is implemented, attempts will be made to paint all in one colour, which is not in the interest of the country. There are more divorces in other communities. Rather the highest rate, which is double that of Muslims, is among Hindus," said a cleric.

Terming UCC a pure political stunt, Uniwef president Rafeeuddin Kudroli said that in order to conceal its failure and diver the attention of people from core issues, the anti-people government is raking up such issues. Representatives of various Muslim organisations and associations were present at the press meet.

Dear Ahmed

Learn the beauty of islam and its sharia law before commenting on islam. I think you are a name sake Muslim.

I read all negative comments id another news portal. Wo... where are comments are from non-muslims who do not know sharia law and just want to comment for the heck of it and put muslims in bad face by not writing the full facts as Mr. Masood mentioned that the girls can approach the kazi or ulemas. 95% of the comments are from non-muslims who should not interfere in our religion rights and try to amend theirs.

Ahmed, finally a sane voice from Muslim side ref UCC

I strongly feel ucc is the need of the hour. We are not supporters of bjp but somewhere we feel it is must .I met many Indians including Christians and Sikhs. Absolutely no opposition from their side .if we want our own laws then better to migrate for sharia backed country. If we have firm faith in sharia then even in criminal laws we must ask sharia laws .where as we want secular and general laws.we Muslims have lot of priorities. . concentrate on education ,quality employement and we must encourage young entrepreneurs ,we should bring down illiteracy rates ...our gals and boys must enter civil services in large no and our people must be in isro as scientists .. Dream in that way guys. Let us respect women feeling ....I can challenge non of the above are 100% true Muslims.... We Muslims must join mainstream .if not days are really going to be tough in India .whether we accept it or not RSS power quadrappled in past few years and pm has firm grip .we must accept the fact that bjp simply don't care for our votes. When we deal with bjp we cannot behave like the way we dealt with congress .we were vote bank for congress.they listen to us .we must also take a note on diminishing power of congress ....let us respect the rule of land. Jai hind ...proud Muslim from surathkal

The person who is not respecting his own wife (Modi) is talking about women's protection, what a shit....these are all hidden agenda of panties....so called chaddies....now panties...

Rightly said it is need of the hour.
