Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on July 1 targeted the Congress and other Opposition parties over the Uniform Civil Code issue and asked them to “listen to their conscience” and refrain from communal politics.
“This is the right time to implement this inclusive reform. It’s now or never for this law,” he told reporters in New Delhi and asserted that a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will ensure “equality and justice for all”.
UCC refers to a common set of laws that are applicable to all the citizens of India and is not based on religion in dealing with marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption among other personal matters.
