The whole point of reviving this proposal is to push the opposition into a photo-op with the conservative leadership. And the opposition is stepping into this trap.
It is a mark of our times that secular politics retreats from whatever ground the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the BJP illegitimately encroach upon—Hinduism, traditions, nationalism, and now the UCC.

It must realise that opposing the idea of a UCC is poor politics
