Congress Opposed UCC Stating It Is Undesirable At This Stage

Delhi/Hyderabad, July 10 (Maxim News): Congress has opposed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) stating that it is undesirable at this stage and that it will comment further if a draft bill or report on the subject is brought forward.

It may be recalled that the Congress party’s top leadership met with its parliamentary strategy group to review the issues that would be brought up during the Monsoon session of Parliament, which is slated to begin on July 20.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the party had already made its stand clear on the UCC on June 15. He further said that the party has nothing more to say on the issue as of now because there has not been anything new during the past 15 days.

“On June 15, the Congress party issued a statement, but there is no change in stand on UCC. When there’s a draft and a discussion we will participate and examine what is proposed. As of now, all we have is the Law Commission Public notice for responses. Congress reiterates the statement as nothing new has happened.

The Congress had alleged the Law Commission’s latest attempt to solicit fresh public opinion on UCC represents the Narendra Modi government’s desperate attempt to continue with its agenda of polarization and diversion from its failures. (Maxim News)
