A day after Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) expressed its concern over the Uniform Civil Code’s (UCC) adverse impact on minority and tribal communities, the party on Thursday asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to clarify his stand on the proposed UCC.
Senior SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of misleading the people of Punjab on the sensitive issue of UCC by giving conflicting remarks.
“It is shocking that AAP is trying to mislead Punjabis on the most sensitive issue of UCC with the Punjab AAP unit calling for the implementation of UCC only after taking the views of all religious leaders, States and sections of society into consideration even as the AAP high command had openly declared its support to UCC,” said Mr. Cheema in a statement here.
