Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath virtually attended the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot’ campaign, which was addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.

Praising the event held in Bhopal, the chief minister wrote on his Twitter handle, “Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot’ campaign is a movement to realise the dream of self-reliant and developed India and to make Indian democracy even more participatory. To ensure its success, the prime minister went to Bhopal to interact with dedicated and hardworking BJP workers and to connect them with the new resolutions of ‘New India’.

BJP state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, former Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, local legislators Neeraj Bora and Mukesh Sharma and party media in-charge Praveen Garg also attended the programme virtually.

The BJP state president said that the inspirational address of the prime minister would further strengthen his resolve for a developed India and increase the enthusiasm of crores of Bharatiya Janata Party workers.

During the programme, Lucknow Mahanagar Mahila Morcha general secretary Reena Chaurasia also asked a question from the prime minister about the vote bank politics and how some people used to oppose triple talaq and now they were opposing Uniform Civil Code.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked in length about the ills of triple talaq and UCC. He said triple talaq was anti-women and even Islamic countries had abolished it.

“Nowadays, we are seeing that in the name of Uniform Civil Court, people are being misled. The country cannot run with a dual system where one community is governed by one law and the other by another. Our Constitution talks about equal rights and even the Supreme Court advocates Uniform Civil Court,” he said.

“If you look at our Muslim brothers and sisters, Pasmanda Muslims are denied equal rights. Bharatiya Janata Party is working to ensure equal rights for them,” he added.
