“When they [the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] say one law for one country, it eventually translates into Manusmriti should be the only law applicable to all. That is the Hindutva view,” said the CPI(M) Polit Bureau member and former party general secretary Prakash Karat.
He was inaugurating the seminar, ‘Uniform Civil Code - RSS agenda for partition’ organised here by the Ernakulam district committee of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) on Saturday.
“The Central government is unlikely to bring the draft bill in Parliament before the next Lok Sabha election. What they want is to keep the issue boiling till then,” Mr. Karat said.
