Draft Uniform Civil Code Bill to be Placed Before State Cabinet on July 2
Announcing this in the Assembly, Adhikari said that former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai will head a committee that will formulate the UCC Bill.
The Bill will be tabled in the Assembly later, he said.
The proposed legislation seeks to establish a common civil framework governing marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption irrespective of religion.
The BJP on Monday backed the implementation of the UCC, describing it as part of the party's commitment to women's empowerment, while accusing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Congress of putting vote-bank politics above women's rights.
Less than two months after ending the TMC's 15-year rule in the state, the BJP government is expected to table in the West Bengal Assembly one of its most ambitious and politically sensitive promises, setting the stage for what could become the first major ideological confrontation of the post-election period.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the UCC is part of the Constitution and asserted that wherever the BJP-NDA comes to power, it moves forward with its implementation.
