Dhami told on which day UCC will be implemented in Uttarakhand…
Uniform Civil Code will be implemented in Uttarakhand before November 9. State Chief Pushkar Singh Dhami has reiterated today i.e. on September 10 that the state government will implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) before November 9.
What did CM Dhami say?
Speaking to news agency ANI, Dhami said, “Apart from the anti-copy law, the state government has implemented laws like anti-conversion law, anti-riot law etc. With their implementation, today Uttarakhand has been identified as a disciplined state with zero tolerance towards crime across the country. Uniform Civil Code will be implemented in the state before November 9, 2024.”
Laws will be passed simultaneously
The Dhami government introduced the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill during a special session of the state assembly on February 6. A day later, the bill was passed by a majority. ANI quoted the Chief Minister as saying, “The passage of the UCC Bill is a “historic day” in the history of Uttarakhand.” The bill will cover aspects such as marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance and succession.
CM Dhami has said this earlier too
This is not the first time that Dhami has promised to implement the Uniform Civil Code by November 9. Last month, the CM had said, “We have taken many such decisions, which have not been implemented by the previous governments till date due to vote bank politics. The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill will be implemented soon. We have resolved to implement it in the state before November 9.”
What did PM Modi say about UCC?
In his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a ‘secular’ civil code. The Prime Minister said, “There is no place in modern society for laws that divide our country on the basis of religion and promote discrimination. Therefore, I emphasize that the time has come for the country to demand a secular civil code.”
Modi said, “After 75 years of communal civil code, it is important to move towards a secular civil code. Once this change is made, it will eliminate religious discrimination and bridge the gap felt by the common citizens.”
