Congress Slams BJP's 'Gradual' UCC Push, Calls It Ideological Agenda

The Indian National Congress criticized the BJP for advancing its alleged ideological agenda through state-level Uniform Civil Code laws. This criticism emerged after Assam introduced a comprehensive UCC Bill. Congress MP Jebi Macter accused the BJP of gradually implementing national legal changes despite lacking the parliamentary mandate. She argued such moves threaten religious diversity. Conversely, Assam's government defends the legislation as a measure to ensure justice and better legal protection for women, prioritizing social justice over political calculations.
