While addressing a public gathering in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 24 slammed the Congress party over its Opposition to Uniform Civil Code. He said, “Modi has pledged to a Uniform Civil Code. Indian citizens, whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian or Buddhist, should have uniform civil laws. But Congress is opposing the Uniform Civil Code. Congress supports Sharia in the name of Muslim Personal Law.”
