New Delhi – Responding to opposition parties’ criticism regarding CAA that the Muslims of India have the right to live as per the Sharia law, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, such practices have already been abandoned even by the Islamic countries. He said the Muslims of India have not been living under the Sharia law since 1937. The British made the ‘Muslim Personal Law’ in 1937. “This is Congress’ appeasement policy,” he added.
Home Minister Amit Shah further said, “Since the time of the British, the Muslims of this country have been separated from Sharia and many Islamic countries have also kept away from Sharia. Even today, when there is a civil case, Muslims do not go to the ‘Qazi’ (judge according to Sharia law), but to the Court. Do they want to bring and implement Sharia law, where a thief’s hands should be cut off, a rapist should be stoned and a traitor should be hanged at the crossroads, where no Muslim can open a savings account or take a loan. Shah said that Shariah and Hadith should be lived. Why Sharia and Hadith are used only for four marriages and talaq ? Congress has done vote bank politics in the country.
Home Minister Shah said that the Uniform Civil Code has been our formula since 1950. We cannot get away from this. We believe that there should be a uniform law in the country. Uttarakhand Government has brought this law. It will now be reviewed.
Amit Shah said, “There should be no interference in religious freedom.”
