Mumbai, MAHARASHTRA :
Mumbai:
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Federation of Maharashtra Muslims have jointly released a QR code to help Muslims respond to the Maharashtra government’s online questionnaire on the Uniform Civil Code.
The Maharashtra government has formed a committee to examine the possible implementation of the UCC in the state, following similar moves by other states. The committee has launched an online portal and invited public responses to 37 questions. Of these, 31 require objective answers in the form of yes, no, or no comment. The remaining six require short written responses.
Recognising that many people lack familiarity with the portal and the appropriate answers, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, in consultation with its legal team and in coordination with the Federation of Maharashtra Muslims, decided to release a QR code to assist respondents. The QR code opens with a short explanatory video that walks users through the process step by step. It provides the recommended answers to all 37 questions, including ready-to-copy text for the written responses, along with instructions on how to paste them into the government portal. The QR code also includes a direct link to the government portal for easy access.
At present, the Board has released the QR code for individual responses. Guidance for organisational responses will follow shortly.
A meeting of Board and Federation representatives was held at the Mumbai Aman Committee on the evening of October 29 to formally launch the QR code. Participants expressed satisfaction with the initiative and appealed to the public to participate in large numbers, share the QR code widely, and display it at mosques and other prominent locations.
Participants specifically urged Islamic scholars and imams to use their Friday sermons to raise awareness about the UCC, explain its implications, and encourage congregations to submit their responses using the QR code.
Addressing those who question the usefulness of such efforts, speakers at the meeting noted that even when results are not immediately visible, formal opposition becomes part of the historical record. They expressed the view that future governments would take note of this documented opposition and work to correct laws imposed under pressure.
Among those present at the meeting were Maulana Mahmood Ahmad Khan Daryabadi, Mufti Saeedur Rahman Farooqui, Hafiz Iqbal Chunawala, Farid Sheikh, Maulana Zaheer Abbas Rizvi, Dr Azeemuddin, Abdul Haseeb Bhatkar, and Shakir Sheikh.
