Kerala politics is heating up over the issue of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). A strong political debate kicked off in the state over the UCC after Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week made a strong push for implementing the UCC in the country.
The CPI-M is organising a national seminar in Kozhikode on 15 July against the Centre’s proposed move to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country. With the Lok Sabha elections around the corner, the CPI-M has seen the Uniform Civil Code as the best weapon to secure minority votes.
The CPI-M has invited the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a constituent of the Congress-led UDF and Samastha Kerala Jem-Iyyathul Ulama, a body of Sunni scholars for the seminar against the UCC to be held on 15 July.
Congress was not invited the seminar, with the CPI-M stating that stand taken by the Congress on this matter is strange.
“Leaders of Congress from national to local level have different stands on UCC. Rahul Gandhi and others are unable to make a clear stand," CPI-M Kerala secretary said the other day.
Meanwhile, Samastha Kerala Jem-Iyyathul Ulama, the body of Sunni scholars, has declared its support to CPI-M in its campaign against the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
