NEW DELHI - Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving forward with a highly contentious campaign promise to govern all Indian citizens under a single personal law regardless of their demographic.
Since the middle of June, India’s Law Commission, which advises the government on legal reform and is putting together a report on the UCC, has been collecting public feedback on the new code. It has collected more than 1.9 million responses, according to India media reports. The BJP-ruled state of Uttarakhand meanwhile announced last week that it has prepared a draft of a UCC bill for the state but did not reveal its contents.
The All India Shia Personal Law Board, which represents the rights of Shias Muslims, has called it “an attack on personal law”. Mr Conrad Sangma, the chief minister of Meghalaya, said the UCC would erode and have “a negative impact on the culture and way of life of the tribal people” in the north-eastern state.
“States have different cultures, religions, laws, languages, and other diversities. How can all these diversities be uniformised?” The BJP has framed the push for a UCC as a way to achieve parity between the sexes. In 2019, the party said it “believes that there cannot be gender equality till such time India adopts a Uniform Civil Code, which protects the rights of all women.”
