Mangaluru, Oct 15: Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Saturday called on Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar, the Khazi of Mangaluru and appreciated his efforts towards promoting peace, communal harmony and brotherhood in the coastal district.
In a brief discussion with the coastal city's most respected Muslim religious leader, the Janata Dal (Secular) supremo said that he would strongly back the Muslim personal law and would never endorse the union government's attempt to impalement uniform civil code in the country in this situation.
Prior to meeting the Khazi, in a press conference at the Circuit House in the city, the 83-year-old political veteran slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government for blowing trivial issues out of proportion and ignoring burning problems.
He said that the ruling government should realise the fact that solving the problems farmers face in India is more important than implementing uniform civil code against the will of crores of Muslims of the country.
“Our country has people belong to different religions and castes who follow their own customs and traditions. Why should the government interfere in their customs and rules? There is no need of a debate on this issue as the country has several major problems,” he said.
Mr Gowda also said that he would speak against the uniform civil code if it comes for discussion in the Parliament. “It is not possible to implement uniform civil code in India," he added.
