New Delhi, July 25: Shiv Sena and Muslim League members today clashed in the Lok Sabha over Supreme Court`s observation that a Uniform Civil Code should be put in placeto govern all religious communities even as Speaker ManoharJoshi said the plea for a detailed discussion on the issuecould be considered by the business advisory committee. Raising the issue during zero hour, Suresh Jadhav (Shiv Sena) said if the country had to remain united, the court`s "historic" suggestion of July 23 this year for bringing into force such a code should be implemented. Jadhav was supported by BJP member Rasa Singh Rawat in his contention that the government should seriously consider the court`s suggestion.


Agitated by the demand made by Shiv Sena and BJP members, G M Banatwala (Muslim League) said Article 44 of the Constitution, which speaks about a Uniform Civil Code, should be scrapped. "The Article is an insult to the Constitution," Banatwala said. Bureau Report
