'How country will progress with two laws': PM Modi invokes UCC in poll-bound MP
PM Modi showed his party's intention as he spoke on UCC and 'Triple Talaq'. BJP leaders will raise these issues in the upcoming assembly elections in MP.
PM Narendra Modi emphasised the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) while interacting with the booth workers of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. "Ek ghar me do kanoon nahi chalega (Two laws in a house is not acceptable)," PM Modi asserted. He said people are being misled about the UCC. Even the Supreme Court wants the implementation of UCC, the PM added.
"Today people are being instigated in the name of UCC. How can the country run on two (laws)? The Constitution also talks of equal rights...Supreme Court has also asked to implement UCC. These (Opposition) people are playing vote bank politics," he asserted.
Taking a swipe at Congress, PM Modi said Opposition means a 'guarantee' of corruption. The 'Guarantee' word is used by Congress in its manifesto in elections.
The PM said those who are supporting Triple Talaq are doing grave injustice to Muslim daughters.
"Our goal doesn't involve benefitting people with just one scheme of the government. Saturation is our goal and we give 100% coverage. The genuine beneficiaries should get the benefits of all the schemes they are eligible for," he added.
PM Modi asserted his government wants to make India a developed nation till 2047 when India will celebrate 100 years of Independence. "Our country will become a developed country only when our villages will develop...Every booth worker of BJP should work towards making their booth strong and developed," he added.
