Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday said the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will give equal rights to every citizen of the state regardless of their religion or caste and end the oppression of Muslim women.
Addressing the gathering at a function held at Gandhi Park here to felicitate him on the completion of three years of his second term as chief minister, Dhami said his government is living up to the expectations of the people of Devbhoomi, who have given their mandate to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for a second consecutive term.
“The UCC, which was implemented on January 27, making Uttarakhand the first state in independent India to implement the law, will give equal rights to everyone. It will end the oppression of our Muslim sisters,” he said.
