THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The UDF has charged the BJP-led central government with creating communal polarisation in the country and asked it to stop its move to impose Uniform Civil Code. The UDF leaders, at a meeting held here on Monday, alleged that the BJP was trying to rake up unwanted controversies with an eye on the Uttar Pradesh elections. The meeting decided to intensify the protest against the LDF government over the nepotism issue as well as the fee structure in the self-financing private medical colleges. However, the UDF decided against disrupting the Assembly proceedings but would fight the LDF government’s flawed policies.
“The BJP-led government’s intention is to divide the people and create communal problems. But this plan will be thwarted by the Congress. Changing a society’s civil code will destroy the secular mind of the country,” Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala told reporters.
He added that the people will foil the activities of terrorist organisations like Islamic State. The Muslim community should not be targeted under this pretext, he said. Muslim League leader P. K. Kunhalikutty also warned against alienating the minority communities in the state. KPCC vice-president V. D. Satheeshan apprised the UDF leadership about the Peace School in Kochi.
