There is an attempt by the congress nd other quarters to associate Uniform civil code nd the abolition of 370 wth a Hindutva agenda. This is so wrong. I am a secular person who has never tried to push a hindutva agenda, nd who has fought for muslim rights on numerous occasions. These 2 issues will benefit both hindus nd muslims. For example abolition of art 370 will allow muslims of UP to buy land in kashmir, as much as hindus. In the same way uniform civil code will protect hindus from the caste bias of the code on Manu, nd will protect muslims from the unacceptable tenents of Shariya law, such as 4 wives nd provision of blood money as payment for murder. For those of my muslim friends who believe tht muslims should be governed by shariya law, let me point out, tht the greatest muslim Caliph ever, the Ottoman emperor Sulaiman the Magnificient, who united the whole muslim world clearly laid down, tht it is not religion but the state tht shall decide the law. nd it is for this reason tht while we in the non muslim world might call him The magnificient, but in Turkey, he is known as Sulaiman the Lawgiver. So my appeal to all hindus nd muslims is tht dont mk this a religious issue, let us all support abolition of Art 370, and the introduction of a uniform civil code.
