Introduce UCC Bill in Parliament instead of pushing it via states: Omar to BJP

Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has criticized the BJP's approach to implementing a uniform civil code. He believes the bill should be introduced in Parliament rather than being pushed through individual states. This is because, Abdullah argues, implementing the code state-by-state would not make it universal. The uniform civil code proposal has been met with disagreement among some of the BJP's allies, which could impact its chances of being passed.

Why it matters

The uniform civil code bill introduction approach is a political issue. It does not directly affect the Indian economy or markets.
