Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia on Thursday termed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) a fake issue and said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) raises it whenever there are elections.
The Law Commission on Wednesday initiated a fresh consultation process on the UCC by seeking views from stakeholders including the public and recognised religious organisations.
“They (BJP) raise this issue during Assembly elections in a state, it is a fake issue. This issue will not bring about any changes in people's lives,” Modhwadia, a leader from Gujarat, told reporters.
Asked about his and his party's stand on the UCC, he said it was a national-level issue and he was only a leader in a state.
