Prime Minister Modi addressed the issue of the Uniform Civil Code, stating that the Supreme Court has discussed it multiple times. He acknowledged that a significant section of the country views the current Civil Code as communal and discriminatory. Modi emphasized that fulfilling the vision of the Constitution's framers, as we approach its 75th anniversary, is a responsibility. He urged for broad discussions across all communities on this matter, asserting that laws dividing society on religious grounds have no place. Modi called for the adoption of a secular Civil Code, arguing that after 75 years of a communal code, it is time to move towards a secular one to eliminate discrimination based on religion.
