Adivasi Gothra Mahasabha (AGM) leader C.K. Janu has said that the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will destroy the very existence of the tribal communities in the country.
Speaking to media persons here on Monday, Ms. Janu said that the UCC would adversely affect the identity and lifestyle of the communities. The Janadhipathya Rashtriya Sabha, the political wing of the AGM, is an ally of the National Democratic Alliance.
Ms. Janu said the culture and lifestyle of the tribal people were far away from civil laws and each tribal community had its own unique lifestyle, language, dress code, custom and tradition.
