Dehradun, January 25: The announcement of the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand has sparked widespread celebration across the state, with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Mahendra Bhatt extending his heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. This landmark decision has positioned Uttarakhand as a trailblazer in the nation, fulfilling a long-standing promise made to its people.
Expressing his pride, Bhatt congratulated the 1.25 crore residents of Uttarakhand on this historic achievement. He emphasized that the implementation of UCC is a momentous occasion, reflecting a public aspiration that dates back to the country’s independence. Highlighting the BJP's commitment to its core principles, Bhatt called it a "fortunate and proud moment" for the state, rooted in its Sanatan Dharma values, to lead the nation in initiating this reform.
The UCC’s journey began with the BJP's pledge during the 2022 state assembly elections. Under CM Dhami's leadership, a draft committee was promptly established in the government’s first cabinet meeting. This was followed by an extensive, transparent process that included public consultations, discussions in the assembly, and thorough legal deliberations. After months of effort, the state is now ready to implement this significant legislation on January 27.
Bhatt emphasized that the UCC would end caste, religious, and regional discrimination, empower women, and curb regressive traditions. He noted that the decision to begin this reform from the "path-showing land of Sanatan culture" is a signal of its potential to be adopted across the nation.
Calling on residents to ensure the law’s successful implementation, Bhatt thanked CM Dhami for his bold leadership and commitment to the people’s aspirations. With this step, the BJP government has delivered on yet another promise, cementing its reputation for prioritizing public welfare and progress.
As Uttarakhand ushers in this reform, it marks the beginning of a transformative era that promises equality, empowerment, and unity for all.
