Country needs Uniform Civil Code, asserts PM Modi

The Hindu  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India needed a Uniform Civil Code as the country could not run with the dual system of “separate laws for separate communities”. His statement on the UCC — a divisive issue on which several minority communities have often expressed reservations — comes at a time when the country’s political calendar for the next one year is packed with Assembly polls in five States and the 2024 General Elections. There was also dual messaging in Mr. Modi’s address wherein he urged the Muslim community in India to “understand which political parties are instigating them to ruin themselves”, an urging at a time when he had been dogged with concerns expressed in certain quarters of the United States, during his state visit there, on minority rights. “The state paid to the Wagner group 86.262 billion rubles for salaries for fighters and incentive rewards between May 2022 and May 2023 alone,” Mr. Putin said.
