‘How can a country run on two laws’: PM Modi bats for Uniform Civil Code
Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday pushed for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and asked how the country can have a dual legal system. He said that the UCC is envisioned in the Constitution and even the Supreme Court has asked repeatedly for implementation of it.
PM Modi was interacting digitally with BJP workers of the 10 Lakh booths nationwide during a programme held in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal under the ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot’, campaign.
He also interacted with selected 3,245 booth-level party cadres who gathered here from across the 501 Lok Sabha constituencies of the country.
He targeted anti-BJP parties over their mega unity conclave in Patna on June 23 and termed the huddle of over a dozen outfits as a “photo-op”.
Modi asserted his party BJP has decided it will not adopt the path of appeasement and vote bank politics.
The PM said Muslims have to understand that political parties have been provoking and misleading them about UCC for the vote bank politics.
“How can the country function with the dual legal system? We have to take care of the Constitution of India, in which the equal rights of the people of the country are enshrined and the Supreme Court pressures repeatedly to bring the Unified Civil Code”, Modi advocated the UCC.
“These people (Opposition parties) accuse us of the issue of Muslims. If they were well-wishers of the Muslims in the true meaning then most of the Muslim families neither become backward in the field of education, employment nor forced to live a troubled life”, the PM attacked the previous governments. The Prime Minister also shared the ill conditions of the Pasmanda Muslims.
Modi said those who do vote bank politics have ruined Pasmanda Muslims. “They have not got any benefit. They do not get equal rights. They are considered untouchables,” he said.
The PM also hit out against those supporting Triple Talaq and asked why Opposition parties favour the practice when Muslim-majority countries like Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan outlawed it years ago. Those who are supporting Triple Talaq are doing grave injustice to Muslim daughters, he also said.
PM Modi also said that BJP will definitely win a historic majority in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well, which is why all the Opposition parties are getting scared. “That’s why they have decided that power should be won somehow, by levelling false allegations, and other such underhand methods,” he further said.
Before attending the Booth-level BJP workers’ programme, the PM flagged off five Vande Bharat Express trains including two for the state, Bhopal-Indore and Bhopal-Jabalpur from Rani Kamlapati station of the state capital, the PM was addressing the Booth-level workers of the party.
Attacking Opposition parties, PM Modi said that some people follow the path of ‘appeasement’ for political gain by spreading discrimination in society, instead of it, BJP is going forward on the way of ‘gratification’ for people’s welfare.
“Some people live for their party and want its benefit because they get a commission in the corruption, so they have chosen this short-cut way of appeasement, it spreads discrimination in every field of society and destroy to the country,” Modi further said.
“And on the other hand, the culture and resolutions of the people of BJP are different and big, and our priority is the country then the organisation. We believe in the country’s benefit, so it has been decided to not go toward appeasement, rather, we promote gratification,” the PM added.
PM Modi also attacked Opposition parties for nepotism and dynastic politics giving examples of Congress, SP, RJD, NCP, DMK, NC and other regional parties. If you want to give benefits to the family members of Gandhi, Mulayam Singh, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sharad Pawar, and Abdulla families then you can support their parties but if you want to give advantage to your family members, then you should vote for BJP, the PM added. He also made an announcement giving a guarantee to take action against the scammers.
MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also addressed the party workers, he said that BJP’s win is important for the country and the states. “For the five Assembly elections, let’s take a resolve that under Modi Ji’s guidance, we will win the booths. Let’s go to the election fray with this mindset”, Chouhan said.
“BJP will win in all five states and in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, our party will register a historic majority. Modi Ji will lead the world”, he further said.
“This is our good fortune that we get to see Modi ji’s leadership. He never hesitates. He gave his life to the organisation and put the party on the world map, under his guidance, we are working on weak booths.” party chief J P Nadda said. He also hailed PM Modi’s efforts for the government and the party..
