A Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) leadership meeting placed the Centre’s move to draft a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Manipur violence against minorities, Communist Party of India (Marxist)‘s [CPI(M)] ‘subversion’ of the police to stifle dissent and witch-hunt Opposition leaders, the State government’s alleged politicisation of the higher education sector and the pending backlog of payments to paddy farmers on the ballot ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
KPCC president K. Sudhakaran on Thursday sought to indict the CPI(M) for playing into the hands of the BJP’s gambit to divide voters into religious lines by ratcheting up the UCC issue.
In contrast, Mr. Sudhakaran said the Congress would not sow divisiveness by launching anti-UCC street agitations. Instead, it would organise a mass campaign to celebrate and spotlight the country’s diversity.
