The largely tribe-based allies of the Bharatiya Janata Party have taken a stand against the bid to impose the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
A day after the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) aired its “strong and firm opinion” against the UCC, the National People’s Party (NPP) said a common set of personal laws on marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, and succession would be against the idea of India.
The NDPP and NPP are the dominant allies of the BJP in Nagaland and Meghalaya respectively.
