Uniform Civil Code | Why The BJP Is Pushing For Uniform Civil Code Ahead Of 2024 Polls | News18

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pitch for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) at a Bhopal rally has made it clear that in the run up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP will go aggressive on its core, ideological issues. PM Modi centered his endorsement of the UCC around constitutional equality, in a similar vein to his government declaring Triple Talaq a criminal offence as being related to gender justice and not being essential to Islam.
While the BJP hopes to politically benefit from the strong resistance to the UCC by Muslim groups and opposition parties, it will also have to factor in a lot of aspects before it comes out with a final draft. We have to remember that the UCC is also a lot more about family matters such as marriage, divorce, adoption and inheritance, other than religion. The opposition to it by Muslim groups has been largely because religion is considered a private sphere.
