The introduction of a uniform civil code to change laws on marriage, divorce and heritage, PM Modi and his party, have been a long goal. Muslim leaders and critics say that UCC challenges Islamic laws on divorce, marriage and heritage.
On Monday, Vice President Jagdeep Dhikar said that a state has made the uniform civil code a reality and it is only a matter of some time that “the whole country will have the same law”.
“Some people, out of ignorance, are criticizing the Uniform Civil Code. How can we criticize the mandate of the Indian Constitution, an age emanating from our founding father, something that bring about gender equality Is?” The Vice President said yesterday.
In December, Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that the BJP would bring the government to the Civil Code with the way it was done in Uttarakhand. UCC’s promise was included in the BJP’s election manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Other BJP -ruled states such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have indicated a plan to bring their own civic codes.
