UCC implementation in all 21 states ruled by BJP, NDA partners before 2029: Amit Shah's big remarks
Uttarakhand became the first state in the country to pass a UCC law in February 2024 and is currently the only one which has fully enforced the legislation.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that a Uniform Civil Code will be implemented across the 21 states under the BJP-NDA government's rule by 2029. In Mumbai, Shah stated the government is committed to deporting all illegal immigrants and is discussing the implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Manipur, with a potential use of the 1951 baseline.
Regarding recent Gen Z protests, Shah emphasized the importance of free speech in a democratic society, stating that his government does not want to run the country in an Emergency-like situation. He also addressed allegations of corruption in the Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank Limited scam, refusing to comment until the agencies complete their investigation.
Shah is currently on a two-day visit to Maharashtra for the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan’ and will attend Hindi Divas celebration in Mumbai. The BJP supports the migrant population, especially in financial hubs like Mumbai and Pune.
