Prominent Muslim cleric and president of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind, Maulana Mahmood Madani, said on Sunday, May 29, 2022, that “if anyone does not like us (Muslims) to follow our religion, then he does not deserve to live in this great country.”
Addressing a two-day meeting of the governing body of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind in Deoband, Madani said every citizen had the right to freely abide by his religion and “any attempt to abolish Muslim Personal Law will not succeed.”
The governing body meeting of the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind passed several resolutions, including on Uniform Civil Code, the Gyanvapi mosque and the Mathura Idgah. The Jamiat said that the present government intended to abolish Muslim Personal Law by enacting the UCC, sidestepping the true spirit of the country's Constitution.
