Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, has said that there is no role for religious gurus in politics. He added that such religious leaders should limit themselves to Mutts, instead of “infiltrating” into politics. The statement of the Telangana CM was in the view of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC.)
The Uniform Civil Code is a proposal in India to formulate and implement personal laws of citizens which apply on all citizens equally, irrespective of their religion.
On the 16th of June, Friday, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief shared his opinion on the UCC. He also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government of involving religious figures in politics.
The Telangana CM and the BRS Chief said, “From where they (Centre) are bringing dharma gurus (religious leaders) into politics?”
Religious leaders should run Mutts, conduct worship and perform yagnas, they are creating a lot of ruckus in the country by infiltrating into politics,” the BRS leader said. He further said, “Seers have no business in uniform civil code and so they should stay in the Mutts and worship. We will see when Modi brings the Uniform Civil Code, there is no need to think about it from now only.”
Sharing his vision, Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao said, “We want to bring change in the country and there is no rush for it, whether we will win or lose elections, but our fight will continue till the change comes.”
Meanwhile, about the UCC, the Law Commission has given 30 days to the respondents to present their views on the UCC. The 22nd Law Commission of India is among other things examining the Uniform Civil Code on a reference sent by the Ministry of Law & Justice.
