"The Opposition parties should listen to their conscience to control the Congress' communal confusion and contradiction on UCC," he added.
Senior BJP leader and former Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday targeted the Congress and other opposition parties over the Uniform Civil Code issue and asked them to "listen to their conscience" and refrain from communal politics.
"This is the right time to implement this inclusive reform. It's now or never for this law," he told reporters here, and asserted that a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will ensure "equality and justice for all".
UCC refers to a common set of laws that are applicable to all the citizens of India and is not based on religion in dealing with marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, among other personal matters.
The mood of the nation is to make a Uniform Civil Code free from the "clutches of communal conspirators" who held this hostage for the last seven decades for their narrow-minded self-interests, Mr Naqvi alleged.
