Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami  has announced the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code if BJP is voted back to power in the state .

“The announcement I’m going to make is a resolution of my party & will be fulfilled as soon as the new BJP govt is formed. To keep the culture and heritage of ‘Devbhoomi’ intact is our prime duty, we are committed to this. Implementing Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand at the earliest will boost equal rights for everyone in state. It will enhance social harmony, boost gender justice, strengthen women empowerment & help protect the extraordinary cultural-spiritual identity and environment of the state,” Dhami was quoted as saying By ANI

The panel will comprise legal experts, retired people, intellectuals and other stakeholders, the chief minister announced on the last day of campaigning for the 70 assembly seats in the state going to polls on February 14.
The ambit of the committee will cover issues related to marriage, divorce, landed property and succession, he said in a video statement.
“It will be a significant step towards fulfilling the dreams of India’s Constitution makers and will realise the spirit of the Constitution. It will also be an effective step towards Article 44 of the Indian Constitution which presents the concept of equitable law for all citizens of society regardless of their religion,” Dhami said .
From time to time, the Supreme Court, too, has underscored the need for a Uniform Civil Code and also expressed concern over no steps being taken in this direction, he said.
He said the BJP government in Uttarakhand will derive inspiration for the decision from Goa which has set an example before the country by implementing a common civil code. A common civil code will promote social amity and gender equality besides strengthening women empowerment, Dhami added.
