UCC to be implemented in MP soon, will strengthen spirit of equality: CM Mohan Yadav at Tiranga Yatra

Bhopal: The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will soon be implemented in Madhya Pradesh, placing it alongside other major states where the law is already in force and underscoring its commitment to equality, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Thursday.

The CM was speaking while participating along with other state leaders in the Tiranga Yatra on boats at the picturesque Bhoj Taal (Upper Lake) in Bhopal ahead of Independence Day.

"I am happy that the Uniform Civil Code is going to be implemented in the state. With this, Madhya Pradesh will join the ranks of the major states (where UCC has been implemented) in the country, bringing the sacred spirit of equality to the state," Yadav said.

There will be no discrimination between individuals based on religion. Whether Hindu, Muslim, Parsi, or Christian, the same laws will apply equally to all, he asserted.

"When we look at our independence and the developments taking place in the world, we feel proud of our country. Our three armed forces performed amazing feats. Today the country has achieved unprecedented strength," he added.

At Bhopal's Upper Lake, the atmosphere resonated with patriotic fervour as songs like 'Mera Rang De Basanti Chola...' echoed across the famous Boat Club.

On the occasion, young athletes performed impressive feats in kayaking and canoeing. They saluted the tricolour with a canoe slalom show, an official said.

For the first time in the country, a floating tricolour was also created in the middle of the lake, the official claimed.

Lauding the performers, Yadav said, "The thrill is palpable. This performance demonstrates that life is not the same. Determination evolves with time. These athletes, similarly, face the rocky waves of the ocean. Amidst the struggle for life and death, they demonstrate their accomplishment through their determination and skill."

Today, the nation and the world are witnessing that the tricolour journey can also be carried out by boat. Today, the state is setting an amazing record, the CM said.

"The tricolour is visible everywhere today. May God protect our country from evil eyes. May our country be all-powerful and capable. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, let us all move the country forward and competently towards the Amrit Kaal," he added.

MP Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Vishwas Sarang also took part in the Tiranga Yatra on a boat.
