JAMMU, Nov 6: Lambasting Centre Govt over its’ repeated attempts to interfere in religious affairs of Muslims, Pradesh congress Committee chief GA Mir today said that BJP leadership was misinterpreting the `Triple Talaq’ issue to create a confusion in order to implement Uniform Civil Code in the country.
The State Congress president also said that India being a great democracy, multi religious, multicultural cannot tolerate interference in any religion. The much-hyped Triple Talaq issue which is being debated and discussed continuously is a direct interference in the religious affairs of Muslims and a ploy to implement Uniform Civil Code in the country.
Mir said that Uniform Civil Code cannot be implemented, as the people cannot practice the things which are being practiced by other religions, everyone has a right to practice his or her own religion according his/ her belief.
Terming Triple Talaq issue as an attempt to divide the Muslim community by Narendra Modi Govt, PCC chief said that Centre Govt is willfully misinterpreting this issue, while as this law is based on certain situations that are irrevocable in Muslim jurisprudence and cannot be challenged.
“The BJP leadership is targeting Muslims on the pretext of Triple Talaq. They should desist from misinterpreting Triple Talaq merely to create divisions to implement Uniform Civil Code, but they must accept the fact that they lack any knowledge on the subject and should desist from interfering in religious affairs of Muslims,” Mir maintained.
He warned that interference in religious matters of Muslims or any other religion in the country by Modi led Govt is fraught with dangerous consequences.
Targeting PDP which is the main ally of BJP for remaining silent on this issue, Mir said that PDP’s silence on this issue is very unfortunate. He said PDP for sake of remaining in power supports every wrong initiative of the BJP at Centre and does not bother about the emotions of the people.
