All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday claimed the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Maharashtra is an attempt to impose 'Hindu Civil Code' on non-Hindus. Addressing a news conference here, Owaisi said his party will oppose the passage of UCC in the state legislature and its implementation in Maharashtra governed by the BJP and its allies.

"It is evident that the Devendra Fadnavis government will implement UCC," he said. The Lok Sabha MP from Hyderabad raised concerns on the questionnaire issued by the state government as part of the UCC process ahead of its implementation. He claimed the questionnaire does not speak anything on Hindu Undivided Family and is silent on the definition of the UCC.
