Why now after 9 years, is it due to 2024: Kapil Sibal's dig at PM Modi over UCC remarks

Former law minister Kapil Sibal has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), asking how "uniform" is his proposal and does it cover Hindus, tribals and the northeast.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Kapil Sibal, a Rajya Sabha MP, said, "Prime Minister: Pushes for Uniform Civil Code, accuses Opposition of instigating Muslims. Questions: 1) Why now after 9 years? 2024? 2) How 'uniform' is your proposal: Covers : Hindus, Tribals, North-East, All? 3) Every day your Party targets Muslims. Why? Concerned now!"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Tuesday made a strong push for a Uniform Civil Code(UCC), asking how can the country function with dual laws that govern personal matters, and accused the Opposition of using the UCC issue to "mislead and provoke" the Muslim community.

Addressing a gathering of BJP workers in Bhopal on Tuesday, PM Modi made a strong pitch for a UCC, saying the Constitution calls for equal rights for all citizens. The prime minister also accused the opposition of using the UCC issue to mislead and provoke Muslims.

The Law Commission had, on June 14, invited views from all the stakeholders, including members of the public and recognised religious organisations, on the politically sensitive issue.

Earlier, the 21st Law Commission, the term of which ended in August 2018, had examined the issue and solicited the views of all stakeholders on two occasions. Subsequently, a consultation paper on "Reforms of Family Law" was issued in 2018.

The 22nd Law Commission, which recently got a three-year extension, has now restarted the process and sought views from the stakeholders by July 13.

A UCC typically means a common law for all citizens of the country that is not based on religion. Personal laws and laws related to inheritance, adoption and succession are likely to be covered by a common code.

The Law Commission has initiated a fresh consultation process on the Uniform Civil Code by seeking views from stakeholders, including public and recognised religious organisations.

The UCC has been one of the three key poll planks of the BJP for a long time with the other being the abrogation of Article 370 which had given special status to Jammu and Kashmir and the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

DU Colleges Stir Controversy with 'Mandatory Attendance' for Valedictory Ceremony

New Delhi: Some Delhi University colleges have issued a set of instructions for students, including mandatory attendance and a promise of providing extra attendance days, for attending the live streaming of its centenary celebrations, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be chief guest.

Hindu College issued a notice on Thursday, June 29, saying that students’ attendance in the event is mandatory. It added that they will be given “five attendance days for attending the live streaming event.” “It will be submitted to college,” said the notice.

Hansraj College, too, issued a similar notice saying that “students must attend the live streaming in the auditorium…”

Rajdhani College plans to upload the photos of all attendees on both the college as well as university website.

The Valedictory Function of the Centenary Celebrations is scheduled to be held on Friday, June 30.

“It is absolutely condemnable for any college to be releasing such dictatorial directives,” said the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) at the Delhi University, in a statement.

“If making the presence of all students mandatory for the live screening of the event was not exasperating enough, the admin has also asked students to not wear any black dress! It is preposterous that the college and university administration will go to any lengths to curb all sorts of dissent in our educational spaces,” said SFI in a statement.

“In addition to it, baiting students with five attendances in such a manner speaks volumes about the ‘serious’ approach adopted by institutions like Delhi University towards imparting sound, meaningful education to its students,” the statement added.

In a controversial move, the varsity declared June 29 (Thursday), an Eid-ul-Zuha holiday, as a working day for all university employees  to “complete all arrangements prior to the Valedictory Function of Centenary Celebrations.”

Abha Dev Habib, secretary of the Democratic Teachers’ Front, told The Wire that such “diktats” make institutions vehicles for propaganda.

“It is one thing for the university to motivate students to join the prime minister’s programme, but another to issue a diktat like this. The instance in DU indicates how our universities are gradually losing their reputation of being institutions of modern education,” she said.

SFI DU also criticised the entire event, calling out Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the Manipur crisis and the wrestlers’ protest.

“A government which resorts to the most brutal measures against dissenting students, pushes teachers to the brink of suicide, constantly propagates unscientific, communal, corrupt and unsound policies like NEP-FYUP in education is called upon to celebrate an institution like Delhi University which was until now known for its secular, democratic and inclusive culture,” read the statement.
