Uniform Civil Code
Addressing a meeting of the state BJP unit, CM Sarma affirmed, “We will wait for that day when Assam will become such a state which will implement the Uniform Civil Code after Uttarakhand and Gujarat.”
The Uniform Civil Code aims to enforce a set of personal laws that are applicable uniformly to all citizens, ensuring justice and equality.
CM Sarma urged the people of Assam to partake in the symbolic act of lighting diyas in their homes, coinciding with the upcoming ‘Pran Prathishtha’ ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya scheduled for January 22.
Further, he announced plans for a ‘Swachh Abhiyan’ (cleanliness campaign) in all religious institutions across the state from January 16 to 19.
