Modi government almost abandoned its intention to implement a uniform civil code in the country


The central government has almost given up the intention of implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country. In this regard, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has made it clear in a way that the central government is not bringing a bill in this regard. Responding to the two-day discussion on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha, he said that the Uniform Civil Code law will be implemented in BJP-ruled states. Amit Shah gave the example of Uttarakhand and said that the way the UCC has been implemented in Uttarakhand, it will be implemented in other BJP-ruled states on the same lines.

This means that one by one the governments of BJP-ruled states will get this bill passed in their respective assemblies. The BJP had promised in the recent Jharkhand assembly elections that if its government is formed, it will implement the Uniform Civil Code and keep the tribals out of it. A few days ago, when the law came into force in Uttarakhand, the Assam government had announced to bring a bill in its state based on the same draft. Interestingly, when the Uttarakhand law was made based on the recommendations of the Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai Committee, the members of the Law Commission also met with the people of that committee. At that time, it was being said that the Central Government would also bring a bill based on the same draft, but now it seems that the Central Government has backed down.

Bhai Arvinder Singh Raja, Chief Sevadar of Akhand Kirtani Jatha (Delhi), has strongly condemned the brutal suppression of the peaceful march taken out by the National Justice Front by the Punjab Government and the Punjab Police yesterday. He said that the Punjab Police also attacked the march in Mohali and fired tear gas shells where the holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was present, which shows gross disrespect for the religious sentiments of the Sikhs. The government has directly attacked the Sikhs by desecrating the Sikh turbans during the lathi charge on the protesting Sikhs and this action exposes the anti-Sikh and authoritarian nature of the government. The actions taken by the Bhagwant Mann government to suppress the peaceful protests are undemocratic and a gross violation of fundamental rights. In a democracy, every individual and community has the right to protest and raise their voice for their rights without fear of coercion or violence. The government’s attempt to stop the Sikhs from marching by imposing restrictions at various places, resorting to lathicharge, tear gas and brutality against the protesters, shows the authoritarian nature of this government and is a blatant violation of democratic principles that cannot be condemned enough.
