'Equal laws for all citizens': Amit Shah on Gujarat's UCC Bill passage
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday welcomed the passage of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill 2026 in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, saying that the country should run on "principle of equal laws".
After Uttarakhand, Gujarat became the second state to pass the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, 2026, on Tuesday, introducing a common legal framework for civil matters such as marriage, divorce, maintenance, and inheritance across communities and religions.
HM Shah, in a post on X, said, "Our belief is clear, the country should not run on the basis of appeasement, but on the principle of equal laws for all citizens. This is both our priority and our resolve."
The Union Home Minister underlined that a uniform law is a "core commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)".
