Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill will be passed during the monsoon session of the state assembly. The five-day session is scheduled to begin on July 20.
Speaking to reporters, CM Yadav stated that the state government is committed to implementing the UCC, which aims to provide a uniform legal framework for all citizens, irrespective of religion.
