NEW DELHI: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi announcing the Uniform Civil Code is essential, it is certain that the BJP will introduce a bill in this regard in Parliament before the general elections.

The Prime Minister's statement came after the National Law Commission sought the opinions and suggestions of people and religious organizations regarding the Uniform Civil Code. It is indicated that the law will be introduced in the parliament after considering the report of the commission.

"Will a family function if there are two different sets of rules for people? Then how will a country run? Our Constitution too guarantees equal rights to all people," PM Modi said in Bhopal on Tuesday while addressing party workers under the BJP's "Mera Booth Sabse Majboot" campaign.

The Prime Minister further said that people are being instigated in the name of the Uniform Civil Code. He said that appeasement politics had left many people behind, including the Pasmanda Muslims.

"Pasmanda Muslims have become a victim of politics. Some people are using the politics of appeasement to break the country. The BJP cadre should go and explain this to the Muslims and educate them so that they do not fall victim to such politics" PM Modi said.

"If they were really supportive of Muslims the Muslim brothers would not be poor or deprived...Supreme Court has also asked for the implementation of the UCC. But these people are hungry only for vote bank," Modi said accusing the Opposition in the country of employing vote-bank politics of appeasement.
