The union minister further stated that the BJP will have cross-party support from the Unity Unity Council.
“We have a majority in the Raj and I think many leaders of other parties want the country to be united. I think many parties will support the BJP for a Uniform Civil Code. We will have cross-party support for that,” said the minister.
Earlier on Saturday, Rajyawan MP Kapil Sibal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should inform the nation about the content of the UCC proposal.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong support for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has brought it back into the spotlight. Prime Minister Modi said the country cannot run on two laws and that the Uniform Civil Code is part of the constitution.
“Today, people are being agitated in the name of UCC. How can the country run on two (laws)? The constitution also talks about equal rights… the Supreme Court also called for the implementation of the UCC. These (opposition) people are playing vote bank politics ,” Prime Minister Modi has said.
