Uttarakhand: UCC Bill introduced in Assembly, slogans of Jai Shri Ram raised, rules on marriage, divorce and inheritance will now change

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami introduced the Uniform Civil Code Uttarakhand 2024 Bill in the state assembly in Dehradun. Slogans of “Vande Mataram and Jai Shri Ram” were raised by MLAs in the state assembly after the introduction of the Uniform Civil Code Uttarakhand 2024 Bill.

On Tuesday, the second day of the Uttarakhand Assembly session, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami tabled the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill. During this, the opposition MLAs continued creating ruckus. The Leader of Opposition also raised questions on this.

However, the House was adjourned till 2:00 pm to study the Uniform Civil Code. The Dhami government of the state will also present an amended bill in the Assembly today for 10 percent horizontal reservation in government jobs for the state agitators and their dependents. In the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee, it was decided that all work in the House would be left aside and only UCC would be discussed.

Earlier, in the business advisory meeting chaired by Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan, it was decided that there would be no Question Hour and no adjournment during this period. Along with the discussion on UCC, the report of the Select Committee on reservation for state agitators will be tabled. Angered by this, opposition leader Yashpal Arya and Congress MLA Pritam Singh resigned from the business advisory committee. The opposition had demanded that time be given to discuss UCC.

Yashpal Arya’s taunt on BJP

Regarding the UCC bill, Leader of Opposition in Uttarakhand Assembly Yashpal Arya said that we are not opposing it. Rather, we want the House to function as per the constitutional procedure and rules. Which works accordingly. BJP is continuously ignoring it.

Complaint about running the House against the rules

Along with this, action should be taken regarding question hour and adjournment. Angered Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya and Congress MLA Pritam Singh resigned from the Business Advisory Committee. In the evening, the Congress legislature party reached Raj Bhavan and complained to Governor Lieutenant General Gurmeet Singh (Senior) about running the House against the rules of the state government.

At the same time, on Monday, the first day of the Assembly session, an emotional tribute was paid in the House on the demise of six present and former MLAs. In this, Sharbat Karim Ansari, who was BSP MLA from Mangalore in the present assembly, former MLA Mohan Singh Rawat villager, Puran Chand Sharma, Kunwar Narendra Singh, Kishan Singh Tadagi, Dhaniram Singh Negi were remembered in the House and MLAs from both sides shared their memories. .

The wait on UCC is ending: Dhami

Not only in Uttarakhand, people from all over the country are waiting for UCC. This is an epoch-making time for Uttarakhand. The eyes of the entire country are on us. For the upliftment of mother power, members of all parties should participate positively in the discussion. The government is going to fulfill the promise made to the public. Fortunately, Uttarakhand is getting this opportunity, which the country needed for a long time.

Illegitimate children will also be biological children, will get rights in property.. Know what is the provision in UCC draft

With the implementation of Uniform Civil Code, there will be no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in all sections of the state. In the draft, there is a provision to give equal rights in property to sons and daughters in all classes. Illegitimate children are also considered to be the biological children of that couple.

After the death of a person, his wife and children are given equal rights in his property. His parents are also given equal rights in his property. Whereas in old laws only the mother had rights in the property of the deceased.
