UCC can't be implemented without public consensus: CPI(M)Secy

The Tamil Nadu unit of CPI(M) today said the Centre's reported announcement scrapping the coal-bed methane extraction project in delta districts in the state, was a victory to the farmers.
The move to abandon the project was a victory of farmers in delta districts, who constantly fought against it, Tamil Nadu CPI (M) Secretary, G Ramakrishnan told reporters on the sidelines of a party meeting here.
The CPI(M) leader is here to oversee the arrangements for the three-day state-level conference scheduled to be held in Tirunelveli, from Nov 12 to Nov 14.
He stressed that the conference was meant to strengthen the party's structure in the state, especially in the southern districts.

On the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC), he said, it cannot be implemented without a consensus arrived.
Reacting to the govermet ban on Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes, he said, the move doesn't serve the purpose of eradication of black money completely.
