The UCC(uniform Civil code) is the promise of the BJP government for a very long period of time, as Amit Shah said it has been one of the main laws to get implemented since the Bhartiya Jan Sangh days. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is also in support of UCC, while some are not happy with it as always happens with every law implemented in this country.
To fulfill this promise different state led by the BJP government is now making a commitment to get suggestions for implementing UCC. States like Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat also declared to form a committee while Himachal Pradesh is about to get the report from the committee.
Now the question arises why is it the main agenda of the BJP?
Is misunderstood by many people across the country but the intention of UCC is very different. It is implemented to have uniformity across the various sections of the community in the country. It is implemented to maintain secularism in INDIA as understandable by Amit Shah’s speech that saysFor any secular country, laws should not be on the basis of religion. If a nation and states are secular, how can laws be based on religion? For every believer, there should be one law passed by Parliament or the state assemblies,Source:- HindustantimesThe responses from the people of Himachal Pradesh are overwhelming both in suggestions and support. The Indian Express sources in its report said that during During consultations, many women complained about not having equal rights in ancestral properties, marriage contracts, etc. At a meeting with Muslim clerics in Haldwani, they also suggested the bad practices that hurt women should be done away with. But the government should also consider the sentiments of different religions before making any corrections in it. Until and unless a ritual doesn’t take away any rights from another human being it should not be considered for any scrutiny from the government. We should not forget India is known for unity in its diversity.
