Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday accused the Congress of resorting to escapist tactics by sidestepping from taking a transparent and unambiguous position on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
Mr. Vijayan said the Congress had yet to shed its ambivalence on the Centre’s move to trample on the personal laws governing Muslim marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance and charity.
Instead, tje Congress chose to blame the CPI(M) for placing itself in the vanguard of the broad-based movement to shield minority rights and cultural and social diversity.
