Kozhikode : IUML leader P K Kunhalikutty has come out against the uniform civil code, terming it ‘impractical’.
Speaking to reporters after the IUML State secretariat meeting in Kozhikode on Saturday, he alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government was making moves to implement the uniform civil code.
The centre’s move was motivated by mala fide intentions, he said, adding that the minority communities were viewing the move with suspicion.
The muslim league leader’s comments come in the wake of the law commission issuing a questionnaire on the uniform civil code to elicit feedback from the public.
He took exception to the invoking of UAPA in the issue of alleged communal content in textbooks used in Peace International School.
Nothing that causes disharmony among communities should be taught in schools but the government was being overzealous in slapping charges under UAPA in the issue, he said.
Such moves were aimed at putting the minority communities under a cloud, he said.
The sangh parivar was trying to implement its agenda using the bogey of terrorism, he alleged.
