Basting on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as a necessity to “form a unified national identity,” Supreme Court Advocate Aniruddha Rajput on Friday pleaded that the debate should move from whether or not UCC should exist and instead should be Focus on the form should take the symbol.
Rajput was speaking at Gujarat University at an event organized by the NGO Justice on Trial. In 2016, he was among the 34 members elected by the UN General Assembly as members of the International Law Commission – the UN organ charged with the progressive development and codification of international law.
We need to understand the line between private and public life. Shouldn’t there be a common standard for regulating our public interactions? (If not) … there will be perversions in society and destroy our unified national identity. The UCC is essential to the formation of a unified national identity… When it comes to interacting with each other in the public space, there must be unification. If monotheism is removed, it increases the potential for abuse… Why should there be a disparity between a Hindu woman and a Muslim woman? Why should we treat one group of women as less equal than others? “
“In view of international laws and the Constitution of India, it is imperative that we achieve this parity… This law is for all Indians and in the process, evil practices will be removed. This is an outcome, not the goal. The aim is to forge a unified Indian identity.”
