💨 Abstract

Gujarat BJP government forms a committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to assess the need for the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and draft a bill for it. The committee, to submit a report within 45 days, will meet religious leaders, including those from the Muslim community. The government claims the UCC will protect tribal communities' rights, while the opposition alleges it's a diversionary tactic ahead of local body polls.
