Wrong to Discuss UCC Now as Its Structure is Not Yet Known: Jayant Chaudhary

News 18  

Rashtriya Lok Dal president Jayant Chaudhary on Monday said any discussion on a Uniform Civil Code now is “wrong” as its “structure” is not known yet, but asserted that men and women should get equal rights. Implementation of a UCC has been part of BJP election manifestos and Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing BJP workers in Bhopal last month made a strong push for it, asking how can the country function with dual laws that govern personal matters, and accused the Opposition of using the issue to “mislead and provoke” the Muslim community. Slamming the Central government over the UCC, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has said the UCC is being widely talked about since the BJP government has nothing to say on demonetisation and withdrawal of Rs 2000 currency notes from circulation. The SP-headed opposition alliance in UP that comprises RLD and some other small parties came during the 2022 assembly elections and Yadav has already said they would fight together the general elections next year.
