"Justice To All, Appeasement Of None": BJP Chief On Uniform Civil Code

BJP President JP Nadda said, "As far as we are concerned, we have been saying that everyone must be treated equally. Our broad outline is justice to all, appeasement of none."

The BJP is ready to take everyone along and it works on the principle of building a strong nation, party chief J P Nadda said on Monday, brushing aside suggestions that a section of the society feels alienated under the Narendra Modi government.

"When we work politically, it is our endeavour to take everyone along. We have to be ready for it. We are ready for it," Mr Nadda told a press conference here to mark eight years of the BJP-led government at the Centre.

"There are many types of people in a society. Some respond earlier, some later, some after decades and some respond after much time has passed. It depends on them. But our conduct is on the principle of a strong nation, one nation. This is clear and everyone will have an equal share," he said.

Replying to questions on whether the issue of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi is on the agenda of the BJP, Nadda said the party has always spoken for cultural development and such issues are decided in accordance with the Constitution and courts.
