There has been UCC in Goa since independence: PM Modi

Indian-GRAPEVINE-there-has-been-ucc-in-goa-since-independence-pm-modi

Published 03 May, 2024

By Staff Reporter


 

Amid the debate over the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that UCC is already in place in the state of Goa and everyone is living happily there.
He further asserted that even the Indian Constitution has mentioned the implementation of UCC.
In an interview with TV9 Bharatvarsh on Thursday, PM Modi said, "I am surprised why the Indian media asked this question after 75 years. Every PM since independence should ask this question. When it is mentioned in the Constitution, why has this not been implemented? Supreme Court has multiple times, asked the government to take a step on UCC."
Giving the example of Goa, the Prime Minister highlighted that there is a huge number of minorities (Christians) in the state.
There is a version of UCC in place in Goa, which is the Portuguese Civil Code of 1867. Under this, people belonging to all religions in Goa are subject to the same laws on matters like marriage, divorce and succession. Notably, Goa was under Portugese control till 1961.
"Those asking questions on UCC should take a look at Goa. There has been UCC in Goa since independence and there is the maximum number of minorities there. There is no issue in Goa, everyone is living happily and the state is progressing rapidly," he said.
