Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister of Uttarakhand, is expected to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in New Delhi amid the heated discussion over the execution of the nation’s proposed universal civil code, days after the PM categorically stated that the “country cannot be run on two laws.”
The discussion will reportedly be convened in light of Uttarakhand’s UCC draft, which insiders said will likely serve as a model for the federal law. Dhami met with Home Minister Amit Shah late on Monday night, and this happened right after that.
More than 2.35 lakh persons representing various societal groups are being surveyed by the expert committee, according to Dhami.”All intellectuals, UCC committee and experts collected the suggestions of more than 2.35 lakh people. They also spoke with religious and other organisations. All these suggestions are being compiled. They will present a draft,” CM Dhami said.
When asked about the Uttarakhand UCC draft being likely a template for the Central law, CM Dhami said, “All aspects should be looked into before arriving at any decision”.
Dhami on Sunday said that the UCC expert committee examining the subject will submit the draft soon.
