Guwahati, 08 July (HS): The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) submitted a memorandum to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, raising concerns over the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), eviction drives, the alleged pushback of illegal immigrants and the law and order situation in the state.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, AIUDF spokesperson Rafikul Islam said the party supports action against illegal immigrants but stressed that proper verification must be carried out before any pushback. He alleged that genuine Indian citizens were also being pushed back to Bangladesh and urged the government to coordinate with the Bangladesh authorities before undertaking such action.

Demanding the repeal of the UCC, the party claimed that the law does not represent a truly uniform civil code and alleged that it seeks to impose the personal laws of a particular community.

On eviction drives, the AIUDF said no family should be evicted without prior rehabilitation. The party urged the government to ensure proper rehabilitation of displaced families before carrying out any eviction exercise.---------
