Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) have drawn criticism from opposition parties. The Congress accused the Prime Minister of using the UCC issue as a diversion from real problems like unemployment and the situation in Manipur. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi expressed concerns about the potential impact on the country's pluralism and diversity in the name of the UCC.

Congress leader K C Venugopal emphasized that the Prime Minister should address the pressing issues of unemployment, rising prices, and the situation in Manipur instead of diverting attention. He criticized the Prime Minister for remaining silent on the unrest in Manipur while focusing on the UCC.
