Ahead of the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20, which is likely to discuss the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has expressed the view that any changes to the personal laws should be done through the respective Personal Law Boards.
Elected representatives and elders belonging to the Muslim community met the Chief Minister at his camp office at Tadepalli, near here, on July 19 (Wednesday) to share their views on the proposed UCC with him.
Interacting with them, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “India is a country standing for unity in diversity, with various religions, castes and groups following their traditions and customs. Different Personal Law Boards are working based on their faiths and religious practices. If these practices are to be streamlined, that should be done through the Personal Law Boards since they have a fair idea and understanding about these practices, and they can only avoid misinterpretation.”
