Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday addressed a large gathering of tribal communities from across the country in New Delhi and assured them that no restrictions under the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be imposed on the tribal community or tribal society.
Drawing on local imagery, he remarked that just as forests host different trees and flowers, governance too must respect diversity rather than enforce uniformity.
At Birbhum rallies, Amit Shah sharpened BJP’s Bengal pitch, raising corruption, safety, border fencing and local issues while urging voters to back change in upcoming Assembly polls.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the Pushkar Singh Dhami government for enacting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), calling it an example for other states in the country to emulate.
She also praised the state for enacting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
According to the government, the decision was necessitated by the increasing number of inter-community marriages between locals and people of Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Tibetan origin in the state.
Nevertheless, the senior BJP leader is accused of violating UCC norms by falling in love with a woman and marrying actor Urmila Sanawar despite having a wife and children.
Third parties seeking information about people registered for live-in relationships, marriages, divorce, and other services under the UCC will get only numbers and no other information.
In a veiled attack on the ruling BJP, the Congress on Thursday said uniform civil code (UCC) cannot become a political instrument designed to keep the country in a state of permanent polarization.
The Gujarat government on Tuesday formed a five-member committee under a retired Supreme Court judge to assess the need for the Uniform Civil Code in the state and prepare a draft bill for the same.
