The Congress on Saturday said the uniform civil code (UCC) is undesirable at this stage and it will comment further if a draft bill or a report on the issue comes up.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the party had already made its stand clear on the UCC on June 15 and since there is nothing extra during the last 15 days on the matter, the party has nothing to add on it as of now.

“When there’s a draft and a discussion we will participate and examine what is proposed. As of now, all we have is law commission public notice for responses. The Congress reiterates the statement as nothing new has happened,” he said.
