UCC move part of RSS’ ‘Hindu Rashtra’ agenda: INL
The Indian National League (INL) has criticized the government's plan to implement a Uniform Civil Code, labeling it an RSS-driven agenda to establish a 'Hindu Rashtra'. The party argues that the move threatens India's secular and pluralistic social order.
Why it matters
The UCC is a highly contentious political issue in India, touching on religious freedom, constitutional rights, and national identity.
The Indian National League (INL) has said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be implemented in 21 BJP-NDA ruled States before the 2029 Lok Sabha polls should be viewed as part of the long-standing agenda of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to establish a ‘Hindu Rashtra’.
INL State president Ahammad Devarkovil and general secretary Kasim Irikkur said on Tuesday (September 15) that the Sangh Parivar’s objective was to impose the culture, laws, and the way of life of the majority community on all sections of people in the country and thereby establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ it envisaged.
