Examining possibility of implementing UCC in Himachal Pradesh: CM Jairam Thakur
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur today said that his government is examining the possibility of implementing UCC in the state.
Interacting with the media, Thakur said: "I think UCC is a good decision. We are examining how to implement the UCC in the context of Himachal Pradesh. A decision will be taken in the future."
Thakur, however, is non-committal on whether UCC will be implemented before the Assembly polls or not. "We are not ruling out, we are examining how it will be implemented or how it can be better. We have not constituted a committee for the purpose but told the official to examine it to find out how it will be done. Decision will be made after properly studying it," he said.
