Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, New Delhi, 27th May, 2026: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been a core commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party since its inception.
In a post on social media platform X, Shah congratulated the people and legislators of Assam after the state Assembly passed the UCC Bill. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP-ruled states are moving toward establishing a uniform legal framework for all citizens.
Shah noted that Uttarakhand and Gujarat had already taken similar steps, and he congratulated Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the legislators who supported the bill.
The statement comes amid continued political debate over the implementation of a nationwide UCC, which aims to replace personal laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption with a common legal framework.
