Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday broached the subject of a Uniform Civil Code publicly for the first time. He said that the Constitution of India talks about equal rights of citizens. "How will the country run with different laws."
People are only being instigated in the name of the Uniform Civil Code. Two types of laws cannot run the country. The Constitution of India also talks about equal rights for the citizens," he said at a rally in Bhopal.
Modi said that those who were in favour of triple talaq are just vote-bank hungry people. "Injustice is being meted out to our Muslim daughters. If triple talaq is a part of Islam then why is it not practised in Pakistan and Indonesia? Triple talaq has been banned even in the Muslim majority countries," he said.
PM Modi said that BJP is all about the politics of development and not of appeasement. He seemed to take a dig at Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, saying caste is being politicised in the state by creating a rift between even Dalits and Mahadalits. "The society is being divided," he said.
