Bengal braces for UCC battle as BJP government prepares to table Bill in assembly
West Bengal's BJP government is set to introduce a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, following similar moves in other BJP-ruled states. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari confirmed the legislation will be presented Monday, aiming to replace religion-based personal laws with a common framework. The BJP asserts tribal communities will be exempt, while the Trinamool Congress criticizes the move as political polarization, demanding extensive consultation.
