Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat has denounced the BJP’s push for a Uniform Civil Code, labeling it a strategy driven by electoral insecurity.
Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat publicly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party’s recent advocacy for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), asserting that the initiative is rooted in political calculations rather than social reform.
Rawat made the remarks during a press interaction, pointing out that the timing of the UCC push aligns with upcoming electoral contests and appears aimed at polarising voters. He warned that such a strategy could erode communal harmony.
The Congress party has consistently opposed the UCC, citing concerns over minority rights, while the BJP maintains that a uniform code is essential for national integration. Rawat’s statement adds another layer to the political debate as the nation approaches the next general elections.
