Uttarakhand To Implement Uniform Civil Code In January, Announces CM Pushkar Singh Dhami

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that the state will implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) later this month. Speaking at the 29th Uttarayani Mela in Bareilly, Dhami emphasized the significance of UCC, referring to the vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution.

Highlighting the historical importance of Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, Dhami stated, “When Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar introduced Article 44, he made provisions for a uniform civil code to be implemented across states and the country.” The UCC aims to provide a single set of laws governing personal matters for all citizens, irrespective of religion, to ensure equality and justice.
