Opposition flares up on BJP over Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat! Know what Congress said to Kejriwal, Owaisi

All the political parties are busy with their own strategy regarding the Gujarat Assembly elections. New promises are being made to woo the voters. In this episode, the Gujarat government has played a big bet before the elections. The formation of a committee to implement the Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat has got the green signal from the cabinet. All opposition parties including Congress, and Aam Aadmi Party targeted BJP regarding Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat. AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, BSP chief Mayawati and Congress have fiercely attacked the BJP.

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal have questioned the intention of the BJP regarding the Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat. During the press conference in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, Arvind Kejriwal said on questioned whether his intention is bad. Article 44 of the Constitution clearly states that it is the responsibility of the government to implement the Uniform Civil Code, then the government should make a Uniform Civil Code. He said that it should be made in such a way that there is the consent of all the communities. A Uniform civil code should be made by taking all the communities together. Kejriwal said that, if their intention is to implement the Uniform Civil Code, then why not make it in the country?

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi says that BJP is raising the issue of the Uniform Civil Code in Gujarat Assembly elections to further its Hindutva agenda and get votes. Owaisi said that the central government led by the Prime Minister had told the Supreme Court that the states do not have the right to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). This authority rests only with the Central Government.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has also targeted the Congress fiercely. Mayawati wrote in her tweet, instead of employment and development in the UP and other states, making Uniform Civil Code an election issue like controversial and divisive issues by BJP, making an election issue in Gujarat gives strength to this discussion. That the condition of the BJP there is not really good.

Mayawati wrote in another tweet, while the Center itself has recently said in the Hon'ble Supreme Court that no decision should be taken on the matter of the Uniform Civil Code yet because it will submit it to the 22nd Law Commission, then what will happen in the Gujarat Assembly elections? It is going to happen due to which BJP is distracted and bowing down.

The cabinet has given the responsibility of forming the committee to CM Bhupendra Patel. This committee will explore the possibilities of a Uniform Civil Code.
