After Gujarat Uniform Civil Code in Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has prepared to implement the Uniform Civil Code in the state. He has also announced UCC in Madhya Pradesh. After Gujarat Uniform Civil Code in Madhya Pradesh will be the second state.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan:

Addressing the convention on Thursday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said he favours implementing the Uniform Civil Code in Madhya Pradesh. Announcing a rally in Barwani, he said, ‘The time has come to implement the Uniform Civil Code. Already Gujarat Uniform Civil Code is famous. Now its M.P. turn, says Shivraj ji.

The CM said that sometimes a big game is played. If people cannot take the land themselves, they take it in the name of tribals. There have also been many such scoundrels who marry a tribal daughter and get the land in her name. Today I have come to create public awareness. 

No to more than One Marriage:

The Chief Minister further said I am in favour of the fact that the time has come to implement a uniform civil code in India. Why should anyone have more than one marriage? Why have two constitutions in one country? There should be only one. I am also forming a committee in Madhya Pradesh. There must be one for all if there is a right to have one wife in the Uniform Civil Code.

Shivraj Singh said, ‘If someone converts and takes land fraudulently, the Gram Sabha will have the right to get that land back. The tribal community shall have the first right over sand, clay, gravel and stone quarries in the scheduled area.

The Chief Minister also said that ‘Liquor shops will not be opened in tribal areas without the permission of the Gram Sabha. If there is a shop near a school, hostel or hospital, the Gram Sabha can recommend the government remove it from there.
