Batting for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), PM Narendra Modi while addressing party workers under the BJP’s ‘Mera Booth Sabse Majboot’ campaign in Bhopal today said that the country cannot be run with ‘two laws’ when the Constitution of India talks about equality for all. He asked how different rules could apply to different family members.

PM Modi slams those who are opposing Uniform Civil Code

Hitting out at those who are opposing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), PM Modi said that they are inciting some people for their interest. “Indian Muslims will have to understand which political parties are provoking and destroying them for their benefit,” he said, pointing out that our Constitution also talks about equal rights for all citizens. The Supreme Court has also asked to implement UCC, he added.

PM Modi said, “The Muslim brothers and sisters of India have to understand that which political parties are taking political advantage of them by provoking them. We are seeing that work is being done to instigate such people in the name of the Uniform Civil Code. If there is one law for one member in a house and another for the other, will the house be able to run? So how will the country be able to run with such a dual system?”

PM Modi on Triple talaq

Speaking about one of the serious issues, PM Modi said that triple talaq doesn’t just concern women, but also destroys entire families too. When a woman is sent back after triple talaq, the whole family breaks down, whether father or brother, everyone is pained with concern about the woman.

PM Modi said, “Whoever talks in favor of triple talaq, whoever advocates it… those vote bank hungry people are doing a great injustice to Muslim daughters. Triple talaq doesn’t just do injustice to daughters… whole families get ruined. If triple talaq is an essential part of Islam, then why was it banned in countries like Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia.”

PM Modi asked if the practice of triple talaq was inherent in Islam then why was it not practised in Muslim-majority countries like Egypt, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Bangladesh, and Pakistan?

Congress has done scam worth lakhs of crores: PM Modi

Lashing out at Congress during the address, PM Modi asserted that Congress has done scams of crores. He said, “Nowadays one word comes again and again – Guarantee. All these opposition parties… these people are the guarantee of corruption, they are the guarantee of scams worth lakhs of crores of rupees. A few days back they had a ‘photo op’ program… If we put together the total of all the people who are in that photo, then all of them together are a guarantee of Rs 20 lakh crore scam. Congress alone has a scam worth lakhs of crores.” 

The statements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi came after few days of the opposition parties meet which was organised to chalk out BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
