Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said that the Uniform Civil Code would be implemented in the country shortly.
Addressing a public meeting at the Basholi area of Kathua in support of party candidate Choudhary Lal Singh, Rajnath Singh, who is chairman of the BJP’s Election Manifesto Committee, said that the party has incorporated the issue of the Uniform Civil Code in its manifesto.
Singh emphasized that since the inception of the Jan Sangh, the BJP’s manifesto has repeatedly stated that whenever the party comes to power, Article 370 will be abolished in Jammu and Kashmir. And this promise was fulfilled upon the BJP coming to power.
“BJP has always promised to construct a magnificent mandir for Bhagwan Ram in Ayodhya, the promise was once mocked by the opposition parties that “Mandir Wahi Banayenge, Par Tareekh Nahi Batayenge”. However, on January 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla, fulfilling the commitment”, he said.

“The beginning of Ram Rajya has now begun in India, and no one can stop the advent of Ram Rajya now”, he said and explained that Ram Rajya means instilling a sense of duty within people, raising awareness about their responsibilities, and fostering a sense of accountability, not blind obedience.
He emphasized that the BJP doesn’t engage in politics solely to form a government but also to build the nation. The government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has demonstrated this.
Rajnath stated that the BJP had promised to pass the citizenship law, and it was passed.
“Despite this, the opposition is attempting to spread misinformation that people’s citizenship will be revoked,” he said and assured that under no circumstances will any Indian citizen lose their citizenship.
Singh highlighted the Uniform Civil Code and mentioned that in this year’s manifesto, the BJP has clearly stated that within 5 years, the UCC will be implemented in the country.
Singh stated that independent India, it had a significant crisis, and there was a disconnect between the actions and words of leaders.
“As a result, trust in India’s politics and its leaders gradually eroded. There was a perception that those who lied were the only ones who became leaders. The Bharatiya Janata Party took on the task of breaking this perception. Indian politics had created a crisis of trust among other political parties, and BJP accepted this challenge as an opportunity”, he said,
Rajnath Singh mentioned that the BJP has worked for the development of Jammu and Kashmir and also took the decision of abrogating Article 370 to integrate Jammu and Kashmir as an inseparable part of India. However, Singh criticized the NC, PDP, and Congress for opposing the article and misleading the public.
Union Defence Minister highlighted that it is not just India but the whole world that acknowledges the nation’s rapid progress. India’s stature has increased internationally. Earlier, when India spoke on the international stage, its words were not taken seriously enough.
“But today, when India speaks on the international stage, the whole world listens attentively. Shri Singh highlighted India’s gradual economic strengthening today”, he said.
Rajnath Singh noted that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India has progressed economically, jumping from the 11th to the 5th position in terms of its economy’s size since 2014. Recognized economists and esteemed financial firms worldwide also agree that India’s rapid advancement will likely lead it to become the world’s 3rd largest economy by 2027.
