Statement of Kerala Chief Miister Pinarayi Vijayan
Instead of clearly articulating their position on issues like Uniform Civil Code, the Congress is resorting to their tried-and-true tactic of throwing banters at the CPI (M). Does the Congress have a clear position and policy on it at the national level? If so, what is it?
Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh, who is also a Minister in the Himachal Pradesh cabinet, has welcomed the Uniform Civil Code. Is that the official stand of the Congress? Apart from opposing the BJP in electoral politics, the Congress is reluctant to stand against the Sangh Parivar on issues affecting the integrity of our country.
In effect, the Congress is supporting the anti-democratic ordinance brought by the Center to overturn the Supreme Court's verdict favoring the Delhi state government. This ordinance makes clear that the Sangh Parivar is willing to subvert constitutional principles to push its vested interests.
The Delhi and Punjab state units of Congress decided to stand against the Delhi state government. Their national leadership too has not taken a stance in support of the Aam Aadmi Party's government in Delhi.
Even on the Uniform Civil Code, the Congress is having this same dishonest stance.
