Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said that while the Congress party’s manifesto promises to retain religious personal law, it is the BJP’s promise and PM Modi’s guarantee to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country.

“Read the Congress manifesto carefully. They have said that they will reintroduce personal law…They want to bring Muslim personal law. They want to bring back triple talaq…Can this country be run by Sharia (Islamic law)?” Shah said while addressing an election rally in MP’s Guna.

He further said that for the Congress, Muslims have the first right over the country’s resources, but for the BJP, the poor, Dalits, Other Backward Classes and tribals have the first right.

“Rahul Baba, do whatever you feel like doing for appeasement. As long as BJP is there, no personal law will be introduced. This country will be run by UCC and the Constitution. This is our Constitution’s spirit. We have implemented UCC in Uttarakhand,” Shah said. “It is our promise and Modiji’s guarantee that UCC will be enforced in the entire country.”

“Rahul Baba used to scare me, saying rivers of blood will flow through Kashmir if Article 370 is abrogated. Rahul Baba, this is not a Congress government, this is Narendra Modi’s government. Leave aside blood, even a pebble could not be thrown there in the last five years,” the Home Minister added.
