Lok Sabha Election 2024 Live: BJP’s manifesto on UCC will create divisions among communities, says Chidambaram

Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘sultan of tukde-tukde gang’ jibe against Congress at a rally in Karnataka, former Union Minister P Chidambaram said on Tuesday that the BJP’s manifesto, especially on the Uniform Civil Code, will create divisions between communities in India.”Every time they (the BJP) are faced with a concrete set of plans and programmes from the Congress, they will accuse the Congress of being a gang that is trying to break up the country,” Chidambaram told ANI.”In fact, it is the BJP’s manifesto, especially on the common civil code, that will create divisions between one community and another, and these divisions will eventually lead to hate speeches, resentment, anger and conflict,” he added.While addressing an election rally at Mysuru in Karnataka, PM Modi dubbed Congress as “the sultan of the tukde tukde gang,” alleging that the party harboured dangerous intentions to fragment, dismantle, and debilitate the nation.
