To,
Law Commission of India
4th Floor, Lok Nayak Bhawan,
Khan Market. New Delhi – 110003.
Subj: Request to Rescind
Processing Uniform Civil Code.
Sir/Madam,
In response to Public Notice issued on June 14, 2023, the Mizoram Church Leader’s Committee (M.K.H.C.) as stakeholder of the Uniform Civil Code places our views, concern and sincere request to rescind processing the Uniform Civil Code.
(1)
Mizoram by virtue of Memorandum of Settlement (Peace accord) is placed on the status that “Notwithstanding anything contained in the constitution, no act of Parliament in respect of:
(a)
Religion or social practises of the Mizo.
(b)
Mizo Customary Law or Procedure.
(c) Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice involving decisions according to Mizo
customary Law.
(d) Ownership and transfer of Land shall apply to the State of Mizoram unless the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram by a resolution so decides.” The MKHC is on the opinion that this UCC shall not apply to the State of Mizoram unless the Assembly by a resolution so decides.
(2)
The MKHC by careful scanning
of the content of UCC feels that UCC is detrimental to the unity in diversity of Indian culture, religions and customs which our fore runners have dearly hold and cherished.
(3)
UCC is undeniably undermining the rights and privileges of minority enshrined in
Constitution Article 371(G).
(4)
UCC could be an instrument of oppression and assimilation of the minority communities and religious bodies in our land.
Therefore, taking above few points into consideration, the Mizoram Church Leader’s Committee does not accept the Uniform Civil Code as it is and strongly
condemns it. And so, we strongly appeal to you that the efforts made to impose the UCC should be suspended, and the proposal to introduce this code be rescinded.
Sincerely,
Secretary Chairman
THE MIZORAM CHURCH
LEADER’S COMMITTEE
July 3, 2023
