UCC a contentious point among Opposition parties

Opposition parties in India are divided over the government’s push for a Uniform Civil Code, with some supporting it and others opposing it. However, opposition leaders believe this issue will not affect the unity achieved in their recent meeting. The upcoming opposition meeting will focus on common issues such as federalism and the Centre’s alleged interference in opposition-ruled states. The government’s push for UCC has been criticized as a diversion tactic. UCC refers to a common set of laws that will govern issues such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance across faiths and tribes.
