Overview
- Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday that the BJP aims to implement a Uniform Civil Code across all 21 NDA-ruled states before 2029.
- Zee News presented the pledge as part of the party’s broader legal and political roadmap and linked it to a monthlong Seva Sankalp campaign beginning on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
- The announcement is a public target rather than an enacted law, with no draft text or formal implementation steps published so far.
- NDA partner JDU has asked to meet Amit Shah to press for wider consultation and has warned that UCC progress will require thorough discussion with states and community groups.
- If pursued, the UCC would replace religion-based personal laws on marriage, divorce, inheritance and adoption, so next steps will likely include drafting, state-level decisions and negotiations within the coalition.
