It seems Uniform Civil Code is the next station the train of BJP will stop at. Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing BJP’s booth-level workers in Bhopal on 27th of June made a push for the Uniform Civil Code. Talks of bringing Uniform Civil Code has increased its pace in recent days.

 

While speaking in Bhopal Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi said “Today people are being instigated in the name of UCC. How can the country run on two (laws)? The Constitution also talks of equal rights … Supreme Court has also asked to implement UCC. These (Opposition) people are playing vote bank politics.Those seeking votes in the name of social justice have done maximum injustice to the villages and poor. Triple talaq was abolished in Egypt 80-90 years ago. If it is necessary, then why has it been abolished in Pakistan, Qatar and other Muslim-dominated nations. Triple talaq doesn’t just do injustice to daughters…entire families get ruined. If triple talaq is an essential part of Islam, then why was it banned in countries like Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia? The opposition parties are divisive and want to thrive on politics of appeasement. We don’t sit in air-conditioned offices and issue diktats, we brave harsh weather to be with people. The BJP has decided that it won’t adopt the path of appeasement and vote bank. There is difference between “tushtikaran” and “Santushtikaran”, the BJP believes in “santushti natak”.
