NPP state working president Likha Saaya told reporters, "Though NPP is in alliance with the BJP on developmental issues, but the regional party follows its own ideology".
The party unanimously adopted a resolution at the meeting opposing the UCC, citing the state's diverse multi-ethnic and multi-tribal composition, as well as its strong customary and traditional identity, Mr. Bage said.
Elaborating the reason as to why NPP is opposing UCC, Mr. Bage said since Arunachal Pradesh has its own unique laws, the NPP has unanimously adopted a resolution to go with the customary laws with certain modifications.
"The state and the central governments should focus on codifying the existing customary laws with necessary modifications to align them with tribal practices," he said.
