Jammu, Feb 24: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Executive Member, Raman Suri has voiced strong support for the statement made by RSS leader Indresh Kumar regarding the implementation of a Unified Civil Code (UCC) for all citizens of the country, saying the decision will ensure that there is justice and equality for all communities, especially Muslim women, in India.
He said the principle of “one country, one constitution, and one justice system” must also extend to a single civil code.
‘This will ensure justice and respect, particularly for Muslim women, who have long suffered due to discriminatory practices within their own community,” Suri said in a statement issued here.
Condemning the practices such as triple talaq, halala and polygamy, which he called harmful to the progress of the Muslim society, Raman Suri said these practices, as also stated by RSS leader, distort the true message of Islam, which is rooted in peace, humanity and brotherhood.
The BJP leader said the time has come for India to move forward on the path of reform. “It is essential to discard practices that hinder the development of society and embrace a more just and equal approach,” he said.
The BJP leader said the implementation of a single civil code is the right step toward creating a more inclusive society. “Unified Civil Code (UCC) is crucial for the unity of the nation, as it would provide equal rights and opportunities to all citizens, regardless of their religion or caste,” he added
Suri said that laws should be designed in a manner that protects and uplifts marginalised groups, especially women. “India is progressing and can’t afford to have different laws for different people,” he said.
The BJP leader reiterated the need to focus on unity, justice and harmony to build a stronger and more prosperous India for all where youth can build their future and also contribute to nation-building.
