In New Delhi: In response to mounting opposition, SP Singh Baghel, a former junior law minister who was recently appointed to the health ministry, has stated that the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will not have an impact on the tribal rights and customs in the Northeast and other regions of the nation. He is the first official from the government to make this statement.
As the state minister for health on Tuesday, Mr. Baghel assured reporters that the BJP respects the uniqueness and culture of the tribal tribes and will not enact any legislation that is detrimental to their needs.
“The BJP chose to nominate a tribal woman as the President of India, the highest post in the land. It also has the largest number of tribal MLAs, MPs, Rajya Sabha members and ministers. The customs of the Northeast are respected by the party, and we will not hurt any religious or social customs, but appeasement politics is not right either,” he said.
