After the resolution was moved by the Chief Minister, several amendments and modifications were suggested by the Congress-led opposition UDF that welcomed the Left government’s move.

The Chief Minister said the Kerala Legislative Assembly was concerned and dismayed at the Cente’s move to impose UCC and termed the action as ”unilateral and hasty”.

The CPI(M)-led government’s decision came amid an ongoing campaign against the UCC by both the ruling Left and the opposition UDF in the state, as well as various religious organisations in the state.

Both the fronts had organised seminars separately in Kozhikode recently against the UCC, in which the representatives of various religious outfits took part.
