PM Modi advocates for UCC, criticizes opposition's vote-bank politics
TL;DR
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advocated for the enactment of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, stating that the country cannot have different laws for different citizens. This comes as the government may be considering bringing a bill to Parliament that addresses issues of marriage, divorce, adoption, and inheritance applicable to all communities. Modi also criticized the neglect of Muslims belonging to backward castes by the upper caste-dominated leadership and secular political parties, accusing them of pursuing vote-bank politics. The public support for UCC coincides with the Law Commission seeking public comments on the issue, with the 30-day window ending on July 14.
