Kanhaiya Lal Choudhary praised Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for initiating the bill, which aims to establish uniform civil laws for all citizens regardless of their religion.
Rajasthan Minister Kanhaiya Lal Choudhary on Tuesday announced that the state government is planning to introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill in the current or next session of the assembly, following in the footsteps of Uttarakhand.
Mr Choudhary also praised Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for initiating the bill, which aims to establish uniform civil laws for all citizens regardless of their religion.
"First of all, I would like to thank Uttarakhand CM Dhami. This was an important matter and the people of India were awaiting it. He initiated this bill. We are making an effort to ensure that Rajasthan becomes the second state after Uttarakhand (to implement the UCC Bill)...CM is in support of this. He has given directions for this, and work will be done soon. This will be discussed in the current session and if the time is insufficient, it will be brought up in the next session," Rajasthan Minister Kanhaiya Lal Choudhary told ANI.
