"Won't Quit NDA But...": Mizoram Chief Minister On Enforcing Uniform Civil Code

Any decision to quit the NDA coalition will be fuelled by political necessity, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga asserted.

The Mizo National Front (MNF) will not immediately pull out of the BJP-led National Democratic Front, party chief and Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga said. The MNF has opposed the centre's proposal to implement a Uniform Civil Code in the country.

Any decision to quit the coalition will be fuelled by political necessity, Zoramthanga asserted.

"So far the party has not made a consideration for this and it depends upon political necessity. We are members of the NDA but we totally oppose the Uniform Civil Code," the chief minister said.
