Bhagwant Mann does a flip after AAP’s help to UCC, says ‘similar regulation for all will divide individuals’

Days after the Aam Aadmi Party prolonged ‘in principle’ help to UCC, Punjab Chief Minister and Senior AAP chief Bhagwant Mann has taken a very reverse stand. 

On the 4th of July, whereas interacting with the media personnel in Chandigarh, the Senior AAP chief took a contradictory line together with his personal social gathering. Responding to the difficulty of UCC, the Punjab CM urged the Centre to not tamper with such delicate points. 

Mann suggested the Union authorities to comply with the Constitution which in keeping with him says that UCC will be put in place when everyone seems to be socially equal. 

He mentioned, “Our country is like a bouquet, which has flowers of every colour. Every religion and faith and also their rituals should be respected. Why do they keep tampering with such sensitive issues? They should follow the Constitution that says if everyone is socially equal, then there can be a UCC”.

On one hand, AAP Gen Sec Sandeep Pathak & Rajya Sabha member from Punjab supported UCC and on one other, CM of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann ji is talking towards it.

Stating that AAP is a secular social gathering, Mann asserted that the identical legal guidelines for everybody will divide the individuals so for that cause the social gathering can’t help BJP’s “divisive agenda”.   

He added, “It is BJP’s agenda to divide during elections. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a secular party and it does not support any such agenda.”

However, it’s pertinent to notice that earlier AAP had publicly prolonged in-principle help to the UCC. On the twenty eighth of June, Sandeep Pathak, AAP’s normal secretary (group) mentioned that the social gathering is extending its “in-principle support” to UCC. 

Pathak mentioned, “In principle, we support Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as Article 44 also says that there should be UCC in the country.”

हम सैद्धांतिक रूप से UCC के समर्थन में हैं क्योंकि Article 44 भी कहता है कि देश में UCC होना चाहिए।

कुछ मुद्दे ऐसे होते हैं, जिन पर आप Reverse नहीं जा सकते हैं, ऐसे मुद्दे लागू करने से आपसे कई धर्मो, सम्प्रदाय के लोग नाराज़ हो सकते हैं

However, Pathak additionally urged the Union authorities to construct consensus with all religions, political events, and organizations.

Earlier, its open help to UCC had mounted troubles for the AAP authorities in Punjab. CM Mann drew criticism from the opposition events throughout the state. 

The Congress criticised it and claimed that it’s like “backing the BJP-led Union government’s agenda of polarisation ahead of the 2024 general elections”. Similarly, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) was placing strain on Mann to clear his stand on this concern. 

Centre’s ordinance on Delhi is an assault on the Constitution

Punjab CM Mann additionally criticised the Union authorities and PM Mod for passing the ordinance in Delhi. He urged the Congress social gathering to help the AAP in stopping the ordinance from turning into an act.

He claimed that the ordinance introduced in Delhi is an assault on the structure of the nation. 

ਦਿੱਲੀ ‘ਚ ਲਿਆਂਦਾ ਗਿਆ ਆਰਡੀਨੈਂਸ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇ ਸੰਵਿਧਾਨ ‘ਤੇ ਹਮਲਾ ਹੈ…ਇਹ ਇਕੱਲੇ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਦਾ ਮਸਲਾ ਨਾ ਸਮਝਿਆ ਜਾਵੇ…ਕੇਂਦਰ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਸੁਪਰੀਮ ਕੋਰਟ ਦੇ ਹੁਕਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੈਲੰਜ ਕਰ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ.. pic.twitter.com/ugkNWD7qwV

He mentioned, “The AAP is a national party. In 2024, we have to save the country. If they change the Constitution then what is the country? The ordinance is unconstitutional. If they are allowed to do this today then they can attack federalism in all other states. The Congress is the worst hit. It should oppose the ordinance and support the AAP.”
