Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday stated that there should be wide consultation with all religions, political parties and organizations.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday extended its “in principle” support to Uniform Civil Code (UCC) but added that there should be wide consultations with all the stakeholders.
In principle, we support Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as Article 44 also says that there should be UCC in the country. However, it should be implemented after wider consultation with everyone. We feel that there should be wide consultation with all religions, political parties and organizations and a consensus should be built,” AAP national general secretary Sandeep Pathak told news agency PTI.
While making a strong push for UCC, PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that India cannot run with “two laws” when the Constitution of India talks about equality for all. He asked how different rules could apply to different family members.
While addressing BJP workers under the party’s “Mera Booth Sabse Majboot” campaign in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, he said, “Will a family function if there are two different sets of rules for people? Then how will a country run? Our Constitution too guarantees equal rights to all people.”
