SHILLONG, Jan 31: The Meghalaya BJP on Friday extended support to Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on his anti-Uniform Civil Code stand, while making it clear that the saffron party will stand with the decision in the interest of the people of the state.
“For Meghalaya BJP, the interest of the people of the state is a priority,” BJP chief spokesperson, Mariahom Kharkrang said when asked about the stand of the party on UCC.
He further said, “We will discuss with all the stakeholders and seek their opinion on the UCC and take a decision accordingly.”
The BJP chief spokesperson assured that the voice and sentiments of the people of Meghalaya will be given due importance.
While the BJP-led NDA Government seems determined to implement the UCC across the country, the NPP-led MDA Government has made it clear that they have no intention of introducing UCC in the state.
The CM has made it clear that the state government is clear in its stand that the UCC is not part of its agenda.
“We respect the secular fabric of the state and the country. We respect the identity of the different tribal communities, and we are clear that the practices of different communities must be respected,” he said.
