All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday waded into the Jallikattu ban controversy and linked it to the debate surrounding the Uniform Civil Code.

Owaisi aired his views on Twitter where he said that no uniform law can be imposed in India as people don't have a single culture.

"Lesson for Hindutva forces, Uniform Civil Code cannot be imposed this nation cannot have one culture we celebrate all," he said in a tweet.

His tweet came when thousands of people in Tamil Nadu are protesting after the Supreme Court dismissed the state's plea seeking recall of its 2014 verdict banning Jallikattu.

Owaisi, known for making controversial statements, earlier had said that Uniform Civil Code is "not good" for the country.
