TV channels are buzzing with activity on debates over the Imrana issue. There are so many articles written in all newspapers. It's a shocking discovery to many, that in a crime, it's the victim who is being punished!
This article gives a summary of the issues involved.
The so-called muslim elite have been interviewed on so many channels. What I fail to understand is : How all of them are compltetely against or very vague in their opinion about a uniform civil code? Is there something wrong in implementing a civil code that is equal to all?
The great secular leaders are also pretty silent on the issue. Why should anyone have a problem with a law that treats all communities equally ensuring gender justice? Beyond politics and that too of the vote bank kinds, I see no reason at all!

I completely agree. A uniform civil code is a must. We are all Indians first and then our respective religions. It is funny that a religion with such progressive individuals in the limelight (Shabana Azmi, Javed Akthar and so on...) do nothing when it comes to these matters. If my religion says go and kill people, a nation cannot remain silent on this.
I respect Islam but the caretakers of the religion should take it ahead and make things a little practical.
