Assam Approves Uniform Civil Code, Marking Historic Step Towards Equality

BJP leader Nitin Nabin praises Assam Assembly's approval of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill as a historic step towards social harmony and justice. Assam joins Uttarakhand and Gujarat as the third state to pass such legislation, aiming to standardize legal processes across religions.

Nitin Nabin, BJP leader, celebrated the Assam Assembly's adoption of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill. He described it as a historic commitment to social harmony and equal justice.

Assam now stands alongside Uttarakhand and Gujarat as regions implementing a universal legal framework covering marriage, divorce, and succession, transcending religious boundaries. Nabin commended the leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, attributing them the credit for this progressive change.

This legislative decision demonstrates Assam's dedication to ensuring equal rights and social cohesion among its citizens. The opposition, however, called for further scrutiny by a select committee.
