Drop uniform civil code, BJP urged

BANGALORE: Calling it a dead issue, the minority morcha of the BJP has asked its leaders not to pursue its agenda on uniform civil code any more.“The specialty of India lies in its diversity. The uniform civil code which BJP national leaders want to implement is a dead issue now. What we need is communal harmony,” said J K Jain, in-charge of BJP national minority morcha, at the inaugural of its two-day national executive here on Wednesday.“We have already conveyed our feelings to party bosses asking them to drop the issue,” Jain said while calling upon minority communities, particularly Muslims, to shed their apprehensions about the saffron party.
