Omar Abdullah Questions BJP’s UCC Strategy: ‘Why Do It State by State?’
Abdullah said a national law should be debated in Parliament, as BJP-ruled states alone cannot make the Uniform Civil Code truly universal.
- On Monday, a rift surfaced within the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar after Union Home Amit Shah announced plans to implement a Uniform Civil Code by 2029 in all 21 NDA-ruled States.
- Janata Dal MLA and former Minister Shyam Rajak stated on Monday that the Uniform Civil Code will not be implemented in Bihar at any cost, maintaining the party's consistent opposition.
- While BJP spokesperson Neeraj Kumar Sharma argued the code ensures equal rights for women, Hindustani Awam Morcha national president Santosh Kumar Suman asserted that if Shah proposed the measure, there must be something good in it.
- Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal spokesperson Shakti Yadav rejected the code, alleging it targets a specific religion, while Rajak emphasized that as an alliance government, Bihar cannot independently implement the Uniform Civil Code.
- Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned the state-by-state approach, arguing that legislation of such national importance should be brought before Parliament rather than introduced separately by individual states.
