Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday tabled the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) 2024 Bill in the Uttarakhand State Assembly. BJP MLA Shiv Arora expressed jubilation over the event, describing it as a momentous milestone. "This is a historic moment for us. What can be a greater happiness than UCC? It gives equal rights to the people. CM Dhami introduced it today," remarked Arora.

Echoing similar sentiments, BJP MLA Pritam Pawar hailed the move as a crucial step towards a `Viksit Bharat` (Developed India). "Congratulations to CM Dhami. He fulfilled his commitment to the people of the state. This decision is a crucial step towards `Viksit Bharat` (Developed India). We will be included in the list of developed countries only if our laws are uniform. UCC will be beneficial for the women of the country irrespective of their religion," Pawar told newswire ANI.
