Omar Abdullah Urges BJP to Bring Uniform Civil Code Bill Through Parliament, Not Backdoor

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has urged the court decision Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to bring the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill through Parliament. Rather than using a backdoor approach. The CM made this statement on Tuesday outside his house, following the recent BRICS Summit in New Delhi.

Omar called the joint statement condemning the 2025 Pahalgam attack a "big thing" and praised India's foreign policy, saying that the country should not look for certificates from others. He also expressed skepticism about the BJP's ability to pass the UCC Bill in the House due to the reluctance of its allies.

Controversy Surrounding Ucc Has Been

The controversy surrounding the UCC has been ongoing for several years. With various states and political parties having different views on the implementation of a uniform civil code. The BJP has been pushing for the introduction of the UCC Bill in Parliament.

Meanwhile, some opposition parties have expressed concerns about its potential impact on minority communities.

Omar's statement has added fuel to the fire. With many analysts saying that his comments reflect the deep divisions within the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) on the issue. The JDU (Janata Dal United), a key ally of the BJP, has already expressed its opposition to the UCC Bill in Bihar.
