The Congress slammed PM Narendra Modi for pushing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) instead of addressing the issues such as Manipur violence, unemployment, and price rise as the prime minister batted for the implementation of the UCC in the country.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said PM Modi should first talk about poverty, price rise, and unemployment in the country. Venugopal also attacked PM Modi for not speaking up on Manipur violence. “The whole state is burning," Venugopal said.
The Congress leader said, “He [PM Modi] should first answer about poverty, price rise, and unemployment in the country. He never speaks on [the] Manipur issue, the whole state is burning. He is just distracting people from all these issues."
On Tuesday, PM Narendra Modi, while addressing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers under the "Mera Booth Sabse Majboot" campaign in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, asked if a country can run on two different laws. PM Modi said, “Will a family function if there are two different sets of rules for people? Then how will a country run? Our Constitution too guarantees equal rights to all people."
PM Modi also accused the Opposition of employing vote bank politics of appeasement. He said that appeasement politics had left many people behind, including the Pasmanda Muslims.
Meanwhile, DMK leader TKS Elangovan said that the Uniform Civil Code should first be introduced in Hindu religion. “UCC should be first introduced in the Hindu religion. Every person including SC/ST should be allowed to perform pooja in any temple in the country. We don't want UCC only because the Constitution has given protection to every religion," TKS Elangovan said.
