Shivpal Yadav shows support for Uniform Civil Code, says will protest if needed

Lucknow: Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party-Lohia leader Shivpal Singh Yadav called for a Uniform Civil Code, in remarks that are being seen as another indication of his growing closeness towards the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Shivpal Singh Yadav, who fought the recent Assembly elections on a Samajwadi Party ticket, has been throwing hints that he is upset with the Opposition party led by his nephew Akhilesh Yadav. In an event held by his party on Thursday to mark the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar, Shivpal Yadav said he will launch protests for a Uniform Civil Code, if needed. “Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar raised the issue of Uniform Civil Code in the Constituent Assembly. Ram Manohar Lohia had raised the issue too in Parliament. And so, we are showing support for Uniform Civil Code. “From here, we will do everything, even protest if needed, to fulfil the dream of Lohia and Ambedkar,” Yadav added. Uniform Civil Code is a proposal to formulate and implement personal laws which will be applied equally to all Indians, regardless of their religion, gender and sex.
