Congress attacks BJP over Uniform Civil Code

The Congress on Friday attacked the BJP on the Uniform Civil Code issue, alleging that it seeks to divide people and spread hatred, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a strong pitch for bringing the common code.

This is not a UCC, but a "DCC - Dividing Civil Code" that seeks to divide the country's politics, Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal said and added that the "UCC is not the agenda, rather the agenda is to divide the people of the country".
