NEW DELHI: CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury said his party will oppose by all means the central government's attempt to bring a uniform civil code into the country. He said the UCC violates the basic right provided for women in India.

“ UCC won't meet any targets of achieving equality in society. Women from different religions and castes will be subjected to bias if the rule comes into place. In Kerala, BJP won't grow as the competition is between LDF and UDF. In Tamil Nadu, there is a strong force of different parties ready to stymie BJP’s progress” Yechury said.

Yechury also criticized Modi’s visit to the USA saying the trip fixed India as the second fiddle to the US in imperialism. Politburo also condemned America’s plan to do camaraderie with India just to isolate China.
