'UCC is to ensure rights, duties'
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|December 24, 2024
KERALA GOVERNOR Arif Mohammad Khan on Monday said that law requires uniformity of rights and duties as its purpose is not to bring unanimity in the rituals and practices of different religions.
In a conversation with Editorial Director of The New Indian Express Prabhu Chawla, Khan said it is a fact that he was born in a Muslim family and it was not decided by him but the destiny.
"I became what I am today because of my efforts. I was elected to the Lok Sabha from Kanpur where only 11% of the voters were Muslims," he said, adding he doesn't like to be identified as a leader of a particular community.
