Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the hill state was not aimed at appeasing any section or targeting a community, and asserted its implementation would empower all sections of society.
Mr. Dhami was speaking to the media in Madhya Pradesh's Indore city on Wednesday after attending a programme organised by the Uttarakhand Sanskritik Sanstha, a local organisation of people originally hailing from the northern state.
He said it was a resolve of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party to implement a Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand and voters have extended their electoral support to the BJP for the measure.
