Underscoring that the Uniform Civil Code or UCC will strengthen the spirit of democracy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday hailed it as "Secular Civil Code", a day after Uttarakhand became the first state to implement the law.
"Yesterday, Uttarakhand became the state to implement the Uniform Civil Code...I congratulate the Uttarakhand government for this. It will strengthen the spirit of democracy and the Constitution," said the PM after inaugurating the 38th National Games in Dehradun.
