Bengaluru, Apr 12 (UNI) Karnataka Home Minister and senior Congress leader Dr G Parameshwara on Friday voiced opposition to the proposal of implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, stating that such a move would undermine the principles of democracy.
The Minister also critiqued the stance taken by the BJP, accusing them of showing disregard for democratic values in their advocacy for the Uniform Civil Code.
Defending the religious freedoms enshrined in the Indian Constitution, he highlighted the absurdity of attempting to impose restrictions on the social and cultural practices of citizens, particularly when they have been integral parts of Indian society for generations.
