TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has said his party will stand by the Muslims with regard to the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which is likely to be tabled as a Bill in the monsoon session of Parliament beginning July 20.
“The TDP will never work against the sentiments of the Muslims,” Mr. Naidu asserted at a gathering of the Muslim community elders, who called on him on July 19 (Wednesday) to apprise him of their views on the UCC.
He said the TDP would take a decision on the UCC after studying the suggestions made by the Muslims, saying that their welfare and development figured high on the party’s agenda.
