The remark comes amid a strife within the Samajwadi Party between incumbent Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and a senior party leader and his uncle, Shivpal Yadav.

The Samajwadi Party leader, a former Indian Defence Minister, however, underlined that there was no rift in the “Samajwadi family”.

Mulayam Singh also said that there should be no politics on a Uniform Civil Code and people should be free to follow any religion in the manner they want.
