THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM Secretariat meeting decided to defend the political campaign of Congress using EMS as a weapon on uniform civil code issue. Congress alleges that the CPM is trying to gain an advantage by rejecting the position of EMS and using communal polarization. However, the argument that the party's position has not changed then and now will be strengthened.

Congress is misrepresenting the position of EMS. BJP's electoral agenda is behind the current debate on uniform civil code. The party is of the position that instead of the forcefully imposed uniform civil code, there should be a positive effort with the support of the concerned religious community for the reform and amendment of discriminatory practices within the personal laws. During the discussion of Shah Bano's case judgment, EMS also expressed the same position.

The Chief Minister's response to the issue of uniform civil code was also highlighting this. He also accused that Congress, that does not have a clear position and policy at the national level, is insulting CPM as an escape strategy. The Chief Minister also demanded that the official position of Congress be clarified at the national level, citing the arguments of the minister of Himachal. Campaign against Congress will be strengthened by highlighting these issues. The assessment of the secretariat meeting is that the party has a clear approach on the issue.

Kozhikode seminar on 15th

A seminar will be held in Kozhikode on 15th against the central government's move to implement the uniform civil code. All those who agree with this regardless of party politics will be made participants in the seminar.
