Chhattisgarh: There has been a debate about the implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across the country, questions are constantly being raised on the Uniform Civil Code from the opposition. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has also targeted the central government and PM Narendra Modi while giving his reaction on UCC. CM Bhupesh Baghel has asked the Central Government that what will happen to the tribals after the implementation of this law? You think only in terms of Hindu-Muslim (Hindu-Muslim). Will the tribals really have to change their traditional law due to UCC?
A large section of Chhattisgarh is against the implementation of UCC. The main reason for this is that most of the population here is of tribals. According to the 2011 census, 32 percent of the population of Chhattisgarh belongs to the tribal community. According to the census of that time, the population of the state was 2 crore 55 lakhs, in which the population of more than 78 lakhs is from the tribal community. In the last more than 12 years i.e. in 2023, this figure would have increased a lot. In such a situation, questions are also arising in the minds of the tribals living in Chhattisgarh that after the implementation of UCC, what will be the effect on their living conditions and traditional laws. A few days ago, a large section of tribals in the neighboring state of Jharkhand also took to the streets to protest against this.
CM Baghel retaliates on PM’s statement
Prime Minister regarding the implementation of UCC Narendra Modi had strongly advocated it on Tuesday (June 27). PM Modi said that how will the country run with a dual law system? He said in his statement that the constitution mentions equal rights for all the citizens of the country. That’s why BJP has decided that instead of appeasement and vote bank politics, it will walk on the path of satisfaction. Opposition leaders have reacted strongly to this statement of PM Modi.
CM Baghel retorted on PM Modi’s statement in Mangalore (June 27) Raipur and said that why do you think in terms of Hindu-Muslim? What will happen to the tradition of tribals in Chhattisgarh? He said that we have to take care of everyone’s feelings. There are tribals in Chhattisgarh, they have their own rules and traditions, many castes have their own traditions. Somewhere in the constitution also the answer is recognized. We have to see everyone’s feelings.
How much impact will UCC have on tribals?
