TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The BJP is committed to bring the Uniform Civil Code after all democratic debates and discussions are concluded, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday. When asked about the UCC, Shah said it is the BJP’s promise to the people of this country from the Jan Sangh days.
“Not only the BJP, the Constituent Assembly had also advised the Parliament and states to bring UCC at an opportune time, because for any secular country, laws should not be on the basis of religion. If nation and state are secular, how can laws be based on religion? For every believer, there should be one law passed by Parliament or the state Assemblies,” Shah said.
Over a period of time, this commitment of the Constituent Assembly was forgotten, the home minister claimed. “Except the BJP, no other party is in favour of the Uniform Civil Code. In a democracy, healthy debate is a necessity. There is a need for open and healthy debate on the issue,” he said.
