PM seeks to use Uniform Civil Code to incite communal violence and capture power, says Stalin

DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on June 29 alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pitched for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) only to incite communal violence and to win the Lok Sabha elections next year.

“He (Mr. Modi) says the country could not run with the dual system of separate laws for separate religions. His idea is to create communal tension and law and order problems. He thinks he can win the next election through his plans. But let me say it in a firm manner. People are ready to teach a lesson to the BJP,” Mr. Stalin said while attending the family wedding of former DMK MLA Gummidipoondi K. Venu.

He also called upon every one to work towards the goal of forming a government at the Centre on the lines of the Dravidian Model government in Tamil Nadu that had fulfilled its promises.
