The issue of the Uniform Civil Code has gained significant attention in the last few days after the Law Commission asked the people of the country to give suggestions on it. Recently, this issue gained limelight after PM Narendra Modi gave a clear message to his party workers and the opposition on the issue. During his interaction with party workers in Bhopal, PM Modi said that the country cannot be run by two laws and there should be one law for all. “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,” PM Modi said.
On the other hand, several states like Gujarat and Uttarakhand are already in an advanced stage of implementing the Uniform Civil Code.
