Guwahati: The head of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Rafiqul Islam noted that as India is a nation where different castes, communities, and faiths have separate laws, the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code will have an impact on the entire nation.
He claimed that Muslims are being “targeted” by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“India is a country of different castes and communities. There are different laws of different religions. If the Uniform Civil Code is implemented then it will affect the country. The BJP-led government is not only targeting Muslims but also other religions,” he said.
Rafiqul Islam also stated that due to the porous border, many drugs enter India from the Northeast region. He urged the centre to look into this issue.
“The Myanmar border with India is still open and the Indo-Bangladesh border is also porous. In the last year, drugs worth more than Rs 900 crores were seized in Assam alone and of around Rs 2000-2500 crores in the North Eastern region. The centre should take this seriously,” Islam said.
