Madhya Pradesh Introduces 14 Bills Including UCC
The government of Madhya Pradesh introduced 14 bills in the legislative assembly, including a significant Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill.
This bill aims to bring uniform personal laws for all citizens except tribal communities and those with protected rights.
The UCC Bill has 10 chapters and 404 points, and it will affect live-in relationships, making them illegal without proper information.
The opposition objected to the sudden introduction of the bills, arguing they should have been presented earlier.
The government defended the move, stating it followed the proper procedure.
The session, initially scheduled for five days, might end early as the government is in a hurry to pass the bills and the supplementary budget.
The opposition also sought a discussion on farmers' issues, which the government accepted.
