‘UCC is a must & necessary’: Keshav Prasad Maurya, UP Dy CM
“The Uniform civil code is must & necessary and there should be one law for everyone. There is a need for a common civil code for citizens of this country. Uttar Pradesh Government is taking this matter seriously and is moving forward in this direction. The way the Uttarakhand government has taken this step forward, UP will also take it forward. Even Non-BJP states should also welcome such initiatives”
Speaking on the subject, BJP spokesperson Anila Singh said, “It’s high time that UCC should be implemented not only in the states but across the country. Everybody is equal that’s what the preamble of our constitution conveys. So each and every citizen of the great country living here should have everything equally. Now, the government has to take a step over how and when it has to be done.” On being asked about the opposition’s objection, Singh stressed that there are two types of politics– one is just doing populist politics and another for the benefit of the country. “Under PM Modi’s leadership, CM Yogi Adityanath has worked for the welfare of everyone without any discrimination,” he added.
