Taslima Nasreen pushes for UCC implementation in India: ‘Much needed in any civilised country’
Nasreen pushed for the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to prevent discrimination, particularly against women.
Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen has urged for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, emphasizing that the law is crucial to end discrimination, especially against women. Nasreen, who has been advocating for the UCC for the past 40 years, believes that such a law is necessary in neighbouring Bangladesh and Pakistan as well.
Speaking at a press conference, she stated that equal laws for everyone are essential, and that women face a significant amount of discrimination, much of which can be mitigated through the implementation of a UCC. The West Bengal government recently formed a high-level committee to examine a draft UCC for the state, with the committee tasked with a comprehensive examination of the draft bill before any further steps are taken.
