Muslims in Assam's Cachar Protest UCC Law, Allege Unfair Targeting

Hundreds of Muslims protested Assam's Uniform Civil Code (UCC), calling it unfairly targeted against them. Former MLA Mazarbhuiya defended the community, claiming UCC wrongly assumes Muslim laws don't protect women and exempts some groups while affecting others. He falsely claimed Muslims have fewer polygamy cases than Hindus. The community demands religious freedom, while the government asserts UCC strengthens legal protections.
