‘Jhumle-Baazi’ ahead of LS Polls…: AIUDF leader Rafiqul Islam lambasts BJP over UCC draft
Feb 05, 2024
Guwahati (Assam), February 5 (ANI): After the BJP-led Uttarakhand government cabinet approved the UCC draft and the Assam government is preparing to introduce the Polygamy Ban Bill in the upcoming Assembly sessions, All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA Rafiqul Islam took a dig at the Centre, saying that the BJP does not dare to implement UCC in the entire country. Speaking to ANI, AIUDF MLA and party General Secretary Rafiqul Islam said that the BJP also knows that it is almost impossible to implement UCC across the country because there are many religions, castes, and communities. “It is just the BJP’s ‘Jhumle-Baazi’ (rhetoric) ahead of the election. Even the BJP knows that it is almost impossible to implement UCC in the country because there are many religions, castes, and communities. The BJP does not have the courage to impose what they will be able to impose in Uttarakhand; it can't do so in the North East. They can’t implement in Goa what they implement in Uttar Pradesh. What they want to do in Assam, they can't do in other states. The BJP itself is confused, and they are trying to implement it partly in their ruled states," Rafiqul Islam said. “If they want to implement UCC in the entire country, then they could have brought the bill to parliament. But they are trying to implement it partly in Uttarakhand and Assam and then will tell the people that see we are going to bring UCC and ban polygamy. It is just their 'Jhumle-Baazi' (rhetoric),” he added.
