Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne apne Independence Day speech mein Uniform Civil Code (UCC) ke liye strong pitch kiya. Unhone kaha ki jo laws desh ko divide karte hain, unka modern society mein koi jagah nahi hai aur unhe khatam kiya jana chahiye.
Modi ne kaha, “Supreme Court ne baar-baar Uniform Civil Code par discussions ki hain, orders diye hain, kyunki desh ke ek bade hise ne mehsoos kiya hai ki current civil code communal aur discriminatory hai. Constitution aur Supreme Court bhi yehi kehte hain, aur ye humare Constitution makers ka sapna tha. Isliye, hamari duty hai isse pura karna.”
PM Modi Ne
further clarify kiya ki “Widespread discussions honi chahiye, sabko apne vichar rakhne chahiye aur jo laws religious lines par desh ko divide karte hain unka khatma hona chahiye. Modern society secular civil code ka demand karti hai. Isse religious discrimination se mukti milegi.”
BJP ke Lok Sabha election manifesto mein bhi Uniform Civil Code ko nation ke interest mein bataya gaya tha. Kai BJP-led state governments already UCC ko implement karne ki taraf badh chuki hain.
PM Modi ke ye remarks dikhate hain ki current term mein government is controversial issue ko pan-India level par address karne ki intent rakhti hai.
PM Modi ne women atrocities par bhi apni concern express ki, particularly jab Mamata Banerjee sarkar Kolkata mein doctor ke rape aur murder ko lekar protests face kar rahi hai. Modi ji ne kaha, “Hamara samaj aur state governments ko women par hone wale crimes ko seriously lena chahiye. Jo log in ghinoni harkaton mein shamil hain, unhe strict punishment milni chahiye taaki samaj mein trust bana rahe.”
