SANKHALI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today has urged the need for implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for women’s empowerment and gender equality.
“Uniform Civil Code should be implemented across states. The UCC is not based on caste and religion. Marriage registration is necessary,” said Sawant while addressing the gathering on occasion of Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan at Sankhali.
He further said that Uniform Civil Code is important for women empowerment and gender equality. Many parties are doing politics on UCC. It means they don’t want the empowerment of women and gender quality. UCC is not based on caste and religion.
Sawant said that he is very proud since Goa is the first state to follow the Uniform Civil Code since Independence.
Chief Minister also said that the first is compulsory registration of birth, compulsory registration of death, compulsory marriage registration and equal rights for husband and wife in property, all this makes the Uniform Civil Code unique.
Speaking of Article 370, CM Sawant said that Article 370 serves as a platform to shed light on the factual events surrounding the abrogation of Article 370. This move revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and fully integrated it into the Indian Union.
