Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday said the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will soon be implemented in the state.

The bill for its implementation will be tabled in the assembly soon, Dhami said at the Shasthi Purti Mahotsav in Vatsalya Gram at UP’s Vrindavan to celebrate 60 years of Sadhvi Ritambhara’s sanyas.

Taking a swipe at the opposition parties, Dhami said people responsible for firing at Ram bhakts would have never constructed the Ram temple in Ayodhya, abrogated Article 370 or abolished triple talaq.

The commitment to construct a temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya will be fulfilled on January 22 when PM Modi will participate in the consecration ceremony, he further said.

Calling Sadhvi Ritambhara an epitome of vatsalya (affection) and motherhood, the CM wished her a long life and sought the blessings of seers present at the event. “I was inspired by her lectures delivered during the Ram Janmabhoomi agitation,” Dhami further said.
