The Pushkar Dhami government will table the legislation on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state Assembly today, becoming the first state in the country to do so. A UCC for Uttarakhand was a major election promise by Dhami in the 2022 Assembly polls.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami tabled the Uniform Civil Code Bill during a special session in the state assembly on Tuesday. The assembly has been adjourned and it will convene again at 2pm to debate the controversial bill.
Uttarakhand House is likely to approve the UCC Bill next month, becoming the first state to enact the Uniform Civil Code. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced that a panel is finalizing the draft law. The UCC was a key electoral promise of the BJP in the 2022 assembly polls. The drafting panel, headed by former SC judge Justice (Retd) Ranjana Prakash Desai, has received over 2.3 lakh suggestions and interacted with 60,000 people and political parties.
