The Shiromani Akali Dal on Thursday formed a sub-committee to take all views on the proposed Uniform Civil Code into consideration and prepare a case for submission to the Law Commission.
A decision on the matter was taken at a meeting of the party’s constituency in-charges and district presidents which was presided over by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal. The four-member sub-committee consists of Prem Singh Chandumajra, Maheshinder Singh Grewal, Sikandar Singh Maluka and Daljit Singh Cheema, a party statement said.
Committee has been tasked with holding talks with constitutional experts, intellectuals and Sikh community leaders. The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a common set of laws on marriage, divorce and inheritance that would be applicable to all Indian citizens irrespective of religion, tribe or other local customs.
The Law Commission had on June 14 initiated a fresh consultation process on the common code by seeking views from stakeholders, including public and recognised religious organisations.
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has vehemently opposed the UCC and maintained that its implementation across the country would have an adverse impact on minority and tribal communities.
